I need to allow entering DOBs (date of birth) from the keyboard (most will come from the keyboard) or by bringing up a Pick a date.
There are plenty of pick date routines, but couldn't find any that handled the user just typing in a date.
NOTE: these routines are specifically written to handle use old folks dates (mostly people between 50 - 80) so the program assumes if you enter a yy that is less than the current year that you mean 19xx
Mostly of you guys have superior knowledge than I do maybe you can chime in a little on better way?
Another note: at this webpage https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/InputType#TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_NORMAL I found that using 16 in InputType should only allow dates, but didn't seem to work so I used IME to restrict to only certain characters
