Dependency

This library is available on Maven Central (Previously on jCenter).

Gradle

implementation 'ru.cleverpumpkin:crunchycalendar:2.6.1'

Maven

xml
<dependency> <groupId>ru.cleverpumpkin</groupId> <artifactId>crunchycalendar</artifactId> <version>2.6.1</version> <type>pom</type> </dependency>

Usage

Here's a basic example of Calendar usage.

First of all, you should declare CalendarView in your layout XML file.

xml
<ru.cleverpumpkin.calendar.CalendarView android:id="@+id/calendar_view" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" />

Perform Calendar setup in your Activity or Fragment class.

kotlin
val calendarView = view.findViewById(R.id.calendar_view) val calendar = Calendar.getInstance() // Initial date calendar.set(2018, Calendar.JUNE, 1) val initialDate = CalendarDate(calendar.time) // Minimum available date calendar.set(2018, Calendar.MAY, 15) val minDate = CalendarDate(calendar.time) // Maximum available date calendar.set(2018, Calendar.JULY, 15) val maxDate = CalendarDate(calendar.time) // List of preselected dates that will be initially selected val preselectedDates: List<CalendarDate> = getPreselectedDates() // The first day of week val firstDayOfWeek = java.util.Calendar.MONDAY // Set up calendar with all available parameters calendarView.setupCalendar( initialDate = initialDate, minDate = minDate, maxDate = maxDate, selectionMode = SelectionMode.NONE, selectedDates = preselectedDates, firstDayOfWeek = firstDayOfWeek, showYearSelectionView = true )

Note: all parameters in setupCalendar() method are optional and have default values.

To handle date click / long click with custom action, you can do this:

kotlin
// Set date click callback calendarView.onDateClickListener = { date -> // Do something ... // for example get list of selected dates val selectedDates = calendarView.selectedDates } // Set date long click callback calendarView.onDateLongClickListener = { date -> // Do something ... }

Saving and Restoring state

Calendar takes care of saving and restoring its internal state (selected dates, selection mode, etc.),
so there's no need to save it manually and call CalendarView.setupCalendar() method every time,
when Activity or Fragment is recreated.

If a Calendar was set up with CalendarView.setupCalendar() method before restoring state, previous saved
state will be ignored.

Dates Selection

Calendar supports several selection modes: single, multiple and range.

Note: You can restrict selection of some dates by implementing your own filtration logic:

kotlin
// Here we make weekends unavailable for selection calendarView.dateSelectionFilter = { date -> date.dayOfWeek != Calendar.SATURDAY && date.dayOfWeek != Calendar.SUNDAY }

Single date selection

Only one date can be selected at a time.

kotlin
// Set up calendar with SelectionMode.SINGLE calendarView.setupCalendar(selectionMode = SelectionMode.SINGLE) ... // Get selected date or null val selectedDate: CalendarDate? = calendarView.selectedDate // Get list with single selected date or empty list val selectedDates: List<CalendarDate> = calendarView.selectedDates

Multiple dates selection

A number of dates can be selected. Pressing an already selected date will unselect it.

kotlin
// Set up calendar with SelectionMode.MULTIPLE calendarView.setupCalendar(selectionMode = SelectionMode.MULTIPLE) ... // Get all selected dates in order they were added or empty list val selectedDates: List<CalendarDate> = calendarView.selectedDates

Range date selection

Allows you to select a date range. Previous selected range is cleared when you select another one.

kotlin
// Set up calendar with SelectionMode.RANGE calendarView.setupCalendar(selectionMode = SelectionMode.RANGE) ... // Get all selected dates in range (includes start and end date) or empty list val selectedDates: List<CalendarDate> = calendarView.selectedDates

Color Indicators

The Calendar is able to display simple color indicators (dots) on the date cell.

Color indicator represents as simple interface, which you can implement in your classes.

kotlin
interface DateIndicator { val date: CalendarDate // indicator date val color: Int // indicator color }

Here's an example of setting indicators to display on the Calendar.

kotlin
// Set up calendar calendarView.setupCalendar() val indicators: List<DateIndicator> = getDatesIndicators() // Set List of indicators that will be displayed on the calendar calendarView.datesIndicators = indicators

To get all indicators for specific date, you can do this:

kotlin
// Set date click callback calendarView.onDateClickListener = { date -> // Get all indicators for the date val indicatorsForDate = calendarView.getDateIndicators(date) // do something ... }

Additional text on date cell

The Calendar is able to display additional text on the date cell.

Additional text represents as simple interface, which you can implement in your classes.

kotlin
interface AdditionalText { val date: CalendarDate // text's date val text: String // text to display val color: Int // text's color }

Here's an example of setting additional text to display on the Calendar.

kotlin
// Set up calendar calendarView.setupCalendar() val additionalTexts: List<AdditionalText> = generateAdditionalTexts() // Set List of additional texts that will be displayed on the calendar calendarView.datesAdditionalTexts = additionalTexts

Using default or root locale on digits

The Calendar is able to display digits using default or root locale.

kotlin
// Set true for root locale or false for default locale. If nothing is set default locale will be used. setUseRootLocale(true) // Then set up calendar calendarView.setupCalendar()

View Customization

Calendar appearance open for customization.

Styling using XML

Calendar appearance can be customized with XML attributes. Here's an example of applying custom style to change Calendar appearance.

Define your custom style for the Calendar.

xml
<style name="CalendarViewCustomStyle"> <item name="android:background">@android:color/white</item> <item name="calendar_date_background">@drawable/custom_date_bg_selector</item> <item name="calendar_date_text_color">@color/custom_date_text_selector</item> <item name="calendar_day_bar_background">@color/custom_calendar_days_bar_background</item> <item name="calendar_day_bar_text_color">@color/custom_calendar_days_bar_text_color</item> <item name="calendar_day_bar_weekend_text_color">@color/custom_calendar_days_bar_text_color</item> <item name="calendar_grid_color">@color/custom_calendar_grid_color</item> <item name="calendar_grid_on_selected_dates">false</item> <item name="calendar_month_text_color">@color/custom_calendar_month_text_color</item> <item name="calendar_year_selection_arrows_color"> @color/custom_calendar_year_selection_arrows_color </item> <item name="calendar_year_selection_background"> @color/custom_calendar_year_selection_background </item> <item name="calendar_year_selection_text_color"> @color/custom_calendar_year_selection_text_color </item> </style>

Apply your custom style.

xml
<ru.cleverpumpkin.calendar.CalendarView android:id="@+id/calendar_view" style="@style/CalendarViewCustomStyle" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" />

To define custom styles for all Calendars in your app at once you can do this:

xml
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"> <!-- ...snip... --> <item name="calendarViewStyle">@style/CalendarViewCustomStyle</item> <!-- ...etc... --> </style>

Styling using code

You can also set styles and colors programmatically:

kotlin
with(calendarView) { setDrawGridOnSelectedDates(drawGrid = true) setGridColorRes(R.color.custom_calendar_grid_color) setYearSelectionBarBackgroundColorRes(R.color.custom_calendar_year_selection_background) setYearSelectionBarArrowsColorRes(R.color.custom_calendar_year_selection_arrows_color) setYearSelectionBarTextColorRes(R.color.custom_calendar_year_selection_text_color) setDaysBarBackgroundColorRes(R.color.custom_calendar_days_bar_background) setDaysBarTextColorRes(R.color.custom_calendar_days_bar_text_color) setDaysBarWeekendTextColorRes(R.color.custom_calendar_days_bar_text_color) setMonthTextColorRes(R.color.custom_calendar_month_text_color) setDateCellBackgroundRes(R.drawable.custom_date_bg_selector) setDateCellTextColorRes(R.color.custom_date_text_selector) }

If you need to add some custom drawing logic for Calendar, you can implement standard
RecyclerView.ItemDecoration and add it for Calendar using addCustomItemDecoration() method.

kotlin
// Set up calendar calendarView.setupCalendar() // Some custom decoration logic val customItemDecoration = CustomItemDecoration() // Add custom item decoration for calendar calendarView.addCustomItemDecoration(customItemDecoration)

There is an abstract helper class AbsDateItemDecoration that you can extend to implement custom
drawing logic for specific dates cells.

Sample app

The Sample app is available for download from Google Play.

Sketch file

Wouldn’t it be a real pain for your designer to ignore Calendar View in your apps mockups? Or for them to try and explain to you, which colors you should use by adding them to Jira task in plain text?

That is lame. That’s why we’ve added a .sketch-file to this repository here. Have fun!
