To use the CustomCalendarView in your application, you first need to add the library to your application. You can do this either from Gradle, or Maven or by directly downloading the source code from GitHub.
If you enjoy this library, don’t forget to follow me on Twitter @asknilan or visit my stacktips.com.
Currently, it supports the following features:
- Next and previous month's navigation
- Allow various customization including background color for day, week, and title
- Set custom typeface using setCustomTypeFace() method.
- Show hide next previous month's overflow days
- Set custom day options for the start day of the week. By default, it is set to Calendar.SUNDAY
- Unlimited customizations for a day of the month using custom Decorators.
- Allow you to handle events when the user changes month and day selection.
Add it to your root build.gradle
at the end of repositories:
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
Step 2: Add the dependency
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.StackTipsLab:custom-calendar-view:1.2.0'
}
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>jitpack.io</id>
<url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Step 2 Add the dependency in the form
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.StackTipsLab</groupId>
<artifactId>custom-calendar-view</artifactId>
<version>1.2.0</version>
</dependency>
The GitHub project source includes a sample application, that is used for demonstrating the various features currently supported by this library. Once the library is added to your project, you can include the CustomCalendarView into your activity/fragment layout using the following code snippets.
<com.stacktips.view.CustomCalendarView
android:id="@+id/calendar_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#ffffff">
</com.stacktips.view.CustomCalendarView>
The above code snippet will show the simple Calendar View with the default design. Now, you can use the following attributes, to customize the appearance of the calendar.
<com.stacktips.view.CustomCalendarView
android:id="@+id/calendar_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@color/off_white"
app:calendarBackgroundColor="@color/off_white"
app:calendarTitleTextColor="@color/black"
app:currentDayOfMonthColor="@color/blue"
app:dayOfMonthTextColor="@color/black"
app:dayOfWeekTextColor="@color/black"
app:disabledDayBackgroundColor="@color/off_white"
app:disabledDayTextColor="@color/grey"
app:nextMonthNavigationIcon="@drawable/button_next_month_selector"
app:previousMonthNavigationIcon="@drawable/button_previous_month_selector"
app:selectedDayBackgroundColor="@color/blue"
app:titleLayoutBackgroundColor="@color/white"
app:weekLayoutBackgroundColor="@color/white">
</com.stacktips.view.CustomCalendarView>
Let us now initialize the calendar view to control the various other appearances and behavior of calendar using the following methods.
//Initialize CustomCalendarView from layout
calendarView=(CustomCalendarView)findViewById(R.id.calendar_view);
//Initialize calendar with date
Calendar currentCalendar=Calendar.getInstance(Locale.getDefault());
//Show Monday as the first date of the week
calendarView.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY);
//Show/hide overflow days of a month
calendarView.setShowOverflowDate(false);
//call refreshCalendar to update calendar the view
calendarView.refreshCalendar(currentCalendar);
//Handling custom calendar events
calendarView.setCalendarListener(new CalendarListener(){
@Override
public void onDateSelected(Date date){
SimpleDateFormat df=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,df.format(date),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onMonthChanged(Date date){
SimpleDateFormat df=new SimpleDateFormat("MM-yyyy");
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,df.format(date),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
//Setting custom font
final Typeface typeface=Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/Arch_Rival_Bold.ttf");
if(null!=typeface){
calendarView.setCustomTypeface(typeface);
calendarView.refreshCalendar(currentCalendar);
}
