Android CalendarView how to detect Month change

Question

I need to search my database basing the query on the month returned from a CalendarView. My problem is that onSelectedDayChange() event fires only when clicking, actually selecting a date not when the month is changed by swiping CalendarView. How to set up something like "onSelectedMonthChange"?

Answer 1

You can't do it with the Android CalendarView. Look at this thread.

If you want to do it, you will have to make custom CalendarView class which will extend CalendarView and implement onGestureListener. Keep a variable curMonth to keep account of your month. Whenever swipe left/right happen, update your month variable accordingly.

Answer 2

if you want to show next and previous months in your calendar based on some click event, then you can do it as:

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();

//for next month
btnNext.onClick(){
     c.add(Calendar.MONTH,1);
}
//previous month
btnPrevious.onClick(){
     c.add(Calendar.MONTH,-1);
}
