Solution

  • The addOnPositiveButtonClickListener returns the selection as Long value. You don't need to get the HeaderText.

    Use for example:

    datePicker.addOnPositiveButtonClickListener {
    val utc = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"))
    utc.timeInMillis = it
    val format = SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
    val formatted: String = format.format(utc.time)        
}
