Why does the datepicker add a calendar in my view?

Question

I am starting to learn how to develop on Android. It is pretty straightforward but I'm facing an issue I did not find any mention anywhere...

I have a view :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="fill_parent"      android:paddingLeft="16dp" android:paddingRight="16dp" android:orientation="vertical">      <EditText         android:id="@+id/editNomProduit"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:ems="10"         android:hint="@string/ht_nom_produit" />        <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"      android:paddingLeft="16dp" android:paddingRight="16dp" android:orientation="horizontal">          <TextView             android:id="@+id/labelQuantiteProduitEdit"             android:layout_width="wrap_content"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:text="@string/labelQuantiteProduitEdit"             android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />  <EditText         android:id="@+id/editQuantite"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:inputType="number" />  <Spinner     android:id="@+id/spinnerUnite"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>      </LinearLayout>     <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"      android:paddingLeft="16dp" android:paddingRight="16dp" android:orientation="horizontal">          <TextView             android:id="@+id/labeDateAchatProduitEdit"             android:layout_width="wrap_content"             android:layout_height="wrap_content"             android:text="@string/labelDateAchatProduitEdit"             android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />          <DatePicker             android:id="@+id/dpDateAchatProduit"             android:layout_width="wrap_content"             android:layout_height="wrap_content" />  </LinearLayout>  </LinearLayout> 

Which displayed a datepicker. The thing is that the date picker seems to add a Calendar besides the classic rollers for the date picker (see picture). I don't want this view, juste the roller for the date. Am I usign the date picker in the wrong way or is this the orignal behavior ? Thanks !

Answer 1

Add this line to your date picker xml

android:calendarViewShown="false" 

This will remove the Calendar.
