problem with datePicker, title initialization is funky

So I have reached the end of my rope when it comes to this dang datePicker dialog that I am working with. I have made it through 7 different activities within my app and have not encountered a single problem until I reached the datePicker. My problem consists of two elements: 1) The dang title of my datePicker displays Wednesday, December 31, 0002 when called. The datePicker itself displays correctly, but not the title, and I have not altered the title one bit. When you change the date the title changes to the correct information except for.... 2) It appears as if the days of the week are off by one (for today it says Monday, February 22, 2011). So I am going to post my entire code within this activity and if anyone has any ideas any help is much appreciated. The issue is going to be in the onCreateDialog or onPrepareDialog methods. If i need to remove any of the other extraneous init methods I will do so, but I would like to verify that I am not causing problems anywhere else within this activity.

I have also tried to setTitle, but that only works up until the date is changed.

FROSTYSMOOTH,

I believe what you are seeing is an incompatibility between the Android Time and Calendar data types you are using.

The ENUM values for the days of the week are inconsistent between them...

Monday in a Calendar object has a value of 0x2 SEE HERE.

Monday in a Time object has a value of 0x1 SEE HERE.

So when you try to set a Calendar object with values from a Time object, you will be a day off.

You need to sort out when each is being used an adjust accordingly or stick to a single Date/Time object so you won't run into these issues.

I hope I was able to help, good luck!
