Custom Component in Android Programmatically

In this tutorial, we will discuss Custom Component in Android Programmatically. We can add TextView, Edittext,Datepicker, Timepickerr and many more.Let’s code and discuss how we can implement it programmatically.

MainActivity

<code>package com.example.customattribute

import android.app.DatePickerDialog

import android.os.Bundle

import android.widget.Button

import android.widget.LinearLayout

import android.widget.TextView

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity

import androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat

import java.util.*

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

lateinit var linearLayout:LinearLayout;

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

linearLayout=findViewById(R.id.ll)

addEditTextView()

addTextView()

datePickerDialog()

}

private fun addEditTextView() {

val edt = AppCompatEditText(this)

edt.hint = "please input something"

linearLayout.addView(edt)

}

private fun addTextView(){

val tv=TextView(this)

tv.setText("Text view")

linearLayout.addView((tv))

}

private fun datePickerDialog(){

val myCalendar = Calendar.getInstance()

val btn=Button(this)

btn.text="date picker"

val tv=TextView(this)

val date1 = DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener { _, year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth ->

myCalendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, year)

myCalendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, monthOfYear)

myCalendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayOfMonth)

val myFormat = "dd/MM/yy"

val sdf = SimpleDateFormat(myFormat, Locale.US)

tv.text = sdf.format(myCalendar.time)

}

btn.setOnClickListener { DatePickerDialog(this, date1, myCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), myCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), myCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)).show() }

linearLayout.addView(btn)

linearLayout.addView(tv)

}

}</code>

As you can see we have added 3 views. TextView,EditText and DatePickerDialog.

For TextView we created a view from Textview and added it to Linearlayout and same did for EditText.

For DatePickerDialog we create an instance of Calendar and created a button. After opening DatePicker Dialog we select date and show in Textview.

activity_main

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:id="@+id/ll"

android:orientation="vertical"

android:layout_height="match_parent"

tools:context=".MainActivity">

</LinearLayout></code>

please check screenshot how it shows
