NumberPadTimePicker

Make time selections in Android by typing them.

As you type or remove digits, number keys and the "OK" button are enabled or disabled to prevent you from setting invalid times. The time separator (e.g. ":") character is dynamically formatted into the correct position.

Available as an alert dialog, a bottom sheet dialog, and as a plain View.

Sample App

The sample app demos some built-in themes. You can also dynamically customize your own theme with a limited color palette.

Usage

Use as Dialog

Implement the android.app.TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener interface.

// The TimePicker returned in this callback is a dummy object. It is not
// the actual NumberPadTimePicker used by this library.
@Override
public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) {
    // Do something with the time chosen by the user
}

Obtain an instance of [NumberPadTimePickerDialog] or [BottomSheetNumberPadTimePickerDialog]. You may pass in an optional style resource to use as the dialog's theme. Alternatively, you can theme the dialog programmatically after you've obtained an instance. See [Themes and Styles] for a guide to styling the dialog.

NumberPadTimePickerDialog dialog = new NumberPadTimePickerDialog(
    context, R.style.MyNptpAlertDialogTheme, listener, is24HourMode);

BottomSheetNumberPadTimePickerDialog dialog = new BottomSheetNumberPadTimePickerDialog(
    context, R.style.MyNptpBottomSheetDialogTheme, listener, is24HourMode);

If you want to use the dialog in a DialogFragment, use the support library's android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment. See the [Pickers guide] for more information.

Use as View

Using [NumberPadTimePicker] as a View requires more care to ensure it is sized appropriately in your layouts. As of version 1.1.0, [NumberPadTimePicker] is not optimized for small screen heights (for example, in landscape). If you are affected by this, you'll need to account for this in a way that is appropriate for your use case.

Add a [NumberPadTimePicker] to your layout like any other View. However, by itself, it is not very useful as a widget for time input.

Define an OK Button

For a [NumberPadTimePicker] to actually be useful for time input, you need to define an "OK" button somewhere in your screen. For example, this can be a View in your layout or a MenuItem in your app bar.

For your convenience, this library provides ready-to-use "OK" buttons you can add to the [NumberPadTimePicker] instead of defining your own. These are the same buttons that are used in the dialogs.

In your XML layout, specify the nptp_numberPadTimePickerLayout attribute on your [NumberPadTimePicker] with one of these values:

Table 1. Values for the nptp_numberPadTimePickerLayout attribute

Value | Description ------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- standalone | The default value. No additional views will be added to the NumberPadTimePicker. alert | Adds alert-style action buttons ("Cancel", "OK") to the NumberPadTimePicker. bottomSheet | Adds a FloatingActionButton to the NumberPadTimePicker.

<com.philliphsu.numberpadtimepicker.NumberPadTimePicker
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    app:nptp_numberPadTimePickerLayout=["standalone" | "alert" | "bottomSheet"]
    ... 
    />

Register OK Button Callbacks

View okButton = ...

NumberPadTimePicker timePicker = ...
timePicker.setOkButtonCallbacks(new NumberPadTimePicker.OkButtonCallbacks() {
    @Override
    public void onOkButtonEnabled(boolean enabled) {
        // If you are using the provided OK buttons, you do not need to do anything.
        okButton.setEnabled(enabled);
    }

    @Override
    public void onOkButtonClick(NumberPadTimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) {
        // Do something with the time chosen by the user
    }
});

// If you are using the provided OK buttons, you do not need to set this.
okButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        timePicker.confirmTimeSelection();  // Calls your onOkButtonClick() callback
    }
});

If you are using the alert layout, you may also want to set a click listener on the provided cancel button:

timePicker.setCancelButtonClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // Respond to cancel click 
    }
});

Themes and Styles

This section describes how to style the [NumberPadTimePicker] view, which is used in the dialogs and is available to use in your own layouts.

You can style the view in XML or in code.

[NumberPadTimePickerDialog], [BottomSheetNumberPadTimePickerDialog], and the [NumberPadTimePicker] view all have a method called getThemer(). This returns an object allowing you to theme the time picker in code by chaining setters.

There are two return types to be aware of: [NumberPadTimePickerThemer] and [BottomSheetNumberPadTimePickerThemer].

  • [NumberPadTimePickerDialog] returns a [NumberPadTimePickerThemer].
  • [BottomSheetNumberPadTimePickerDialog] returns a [BottomSheetNumberPadTimePickerThemer].
  • [NumberPadTimePicker] returns a [NumberPadTimePickerThemer], which can possibly be casted to [BottomSheetNumberPadTimePickerThemer].

The following table lists styleable attributes available in all [layouts][Table 1]. These correspond to setters in [NumberPadTimePickerThemer].

Table 2. Common styleable attributes

Attribute | Description -------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------ nptp_numberPadTimePickerLayout | Determines the presence and appearance of additional dialog buttons. See [Table 1] for possible values. nptp_inputTimeTextColor | Text color for the inputted time in the header. nptp_inputAmPmTextColor | Text color for the inputted AM/PM in the header. nptp_backspaceTint | Tint to apply to the backspace icon. This should be a color state list with enabled and disabled states. nptp_numberKeysTextColor | Text color for the number keys. This should be a color state list with enabled and disabled states. nptp_altKeysTextColor | Text color for the "AM"/"PM" keys in 12-hour mode or the ":00"/":30" keys in 24-hour mode. This should be a color state list with enabled and disabled states. nptp_headerBackground | Background of the header containing the inputted time and AM/PM. This can be a color or a drawable. nptp_divider | Divider separating the header from the number pad. This can be a color or a drawable. nptp_numberPadBackground | Background of the number pad. This can be a color or a drawable. nptp_is24HourMode | Whether the number pad should use 24-hour mode.

The following table lists styleable attributes available only for the bottomSheet layout. These correspond to setters in [BottomSheetNumberPadTimePickerThemer].

Table 3. Bottom sheet styleable attributes

Attribute | Description -------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------ nptp_fabBackgroundColor | Background color of the FloatingActionButton. This should be a color state list with enabled and disabled states. nptp_animateFabBackgroundColor | Whether the FloatingActionButton should transition between its enabled and disabled colors. Does not apply if nptp_showFab is set to validTime. nptp_fabRippleColor | Ripple color of the FloatingActionButton when pressed. nptp_animateFabIn | Whether the FloatingActionButton should animate onto the screen when the dialog is shown. Does not apply if nptp_showFab is set to validTime. nptp_showFab | Indicates when the FloatingActionButton should be shown. Either always or validTime. nptp_backspaceLocation | Location of the backspace key. Either header or footer. nptp_fabIconTint | Tint to apply to the icon in the FloatingActionButton. This should be a color state list with enabled and disabled states.

If you are using [NumberPadTimePicker] in your own layouts, you may find it convenient to specify one of the following styles. These styles adjust layout_width and layout_height for multiple size qualifiers.

  • NPTP_NumberPadTimePickerStandaloneStyle_FillHeight
  • NPTP_NumberPadTimePickerStandaloneStyle_ExactHeight
  • NPTP_NumberPadTimePickerAlertStyle_FillHeight
  • NPTP_NumberPadTimePickerAlertStyle_ExactHeight
  • NPTP_NumberPadTimePickerBottomSheetStyle_FillHeight
  • NPTP_NumberPadTimePickerBottomSheetStyle_ExactHeight
