Android Question Unknown member: showcalendar (Dialogs2.94 and B4A 6.80)

[vecino]

Hello, I have a problem with ShowCalendar.
The problem is with the new version 6.80
I installed Dialogs2.94
The error is: Unknown member: showcalendar
What I can do?

Sample Code:

Sub lbHasta_Click
  Dim dd As DateDialog
  dd.DateTicks = DateTime.DateParse(lbHasta.Text)       
  dd.ShowCalendar = False   '  <---  ERROR
  ...
End Sub

i guess the name of the method (and parameters) has changed...

https://www.b4x.com/android/help/dialogs.html#datedialog

Show (Message As String, Title As String, Positive As String, Cancel As String, Negative As String, icon As android.graphics.Bitmap) As Int

No. Show is a method, ShowDialog is a property.

Hi.
What I can do?
Now I have to go back to version 6.50 to use old Dialogs

I don't know, I don't have the new version (6.80)

How should the dialog look with ShowCalendar = False ?

 

[vecino]

Hello:

ShowCalendar = True
ShowCalendar = False

 

[Erel]

Which device are you using? Why are you setting the targetSdkVersion 8- ?

On newer devices (when using modern themes) this property will not do anything anyway as the calendar is the only way to choose the date.

Hi.
It's because my client does not want the calendar to show up.
Is there any other solution?

I think that it is a mistake to use the Android 2.x theme. It makes your app looks old. There is also potential to all kinds of strange layout errors.

Please try the attached library (v2.96).

PERFECT!!!
Many thanks.

How can I change that option?
Any thread that talks about that?
I do not know the operation of that matter.

Use a newer Theme i guess.

You can not change the behaviour from android.

What you can do is to define your own theme. But i´m not sure what exactly you can change using a own theme.. I never tried to build my own theme...

Look at https://developer.android.com/index.html for documentation

Sorry.
I am sure that this issue has been addressed before. I tried not to repeat another thread.

has been addressed before. I tried not to repeat another thread

i guess you have had a look already on the old answers then.. What does they say?

 

[vecino]

Hi, I can not find the thread, I saw it long ago, but I was not interested in that time. Now I can not find it.
Thank you.

 

[vecino]

I have already found it.
Thanks for... everything.
