Make DatePicker and TimePicker smaller

Is there any way to make smaller DatePicker and TimePicker (but to be visible all parts ) in Android ? I tried to set l开发者_运维问答ayout_width="130dp" but then DatePicker isn't visible, just left upper corner.

Use properties follow:

Example smaller 80% original

android:scaleY="0.8" 
android:scaleX="0.8"

(This actually works and others don't) After much searching this worked:

<DatePicker
    android:id="@+id/dp_datepicker"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:scaleX="0.7"
    android:scaleY="0.7"
    android:layout_marginLeft="-30dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="-30dp"
    android:datePickerMode="spinner"
    />

<TimePicker
    android:id="@+id/tp_timepicker"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:scaleX="0.7"
    android:scaleY="0.7"
    android:layout_marginLeft="-30dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="-30dp"
    android:timePickerMode="spinner"
    />

The android:scaleX="0.7" is what shrinked the visible picker (it works for DatePicker and TimePicker) and the android:layout_marginLeft="-30dp" allowed for the space to be reduced.

Note: All attempts at using android:padding="-30dp" did not work and using android:layout_margin="-30dp" (without a side specified) also did not work. Hopefully this helps those who were as lost as me

P.S. Google get your freaking DatePicker API fixed!

Instead of using "dp" for the layout width , use percentages in weight to make it smaller. For android:layout_weight to be effective, put android:layout_width to 0 dip.

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_weight=".33"

android:layout_width="0dip"

android:textSize="12sp"

This worked for me to fit a date and time picker in a dialogue with a custom layout in landscape mode on a small screen. Set the weightsum of a container (LinarLayout) to 100 and then fill it with widgets adding up to 100 in layout_weight property.

    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="horizontal" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:weightSum="100"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal">

            <DatePicker 
                android:id="@+id/dlgDateTimePickerDate"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight="50"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

            <TimePicker
                android:id="@+id/dlgDateTimePickerTime"
                android:layout_weight="50"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    </LinearLayout>

You can simple scale like this:

android:scaleY="0.5" android:scaleX="0.5"

to get the half of the size.

And to get a smaller padding, android:padding="-20dp"

Looking from the framework the picker may overlap other views, but in the app, it will not.

The padding is going to work perfectly and the buttons also.

Another solution:

Put it in a LinearLayout and set the height of the LinearLayout manually
