Using Kit Kat DatePicker in Lollipop Device

I'm trying to show a DatePickerDialog in my apps. But I realized that the DatePickerDialog that show up depends on the phone OS. My question is how can I show KitKat style DatePicker in Lollipop OS? I know this is possible because some apps like Facebook is using it.

This is what I want

DatePicker

Solution

  • Try android:calendarViewShown="false" and android:datePickerMode="spinner" in the datepicker xml. I believe the former is for Kitkat and below, while datePickerMode applies to Lollipop.
