How to show DatePicker

To display a DatePicker, you need to call a showDatePickerDialog in RangeDateEditText class.

Note that by default, DatePicker is shown after tapping on a field, and if the field has datePickerModes attribute set.

Track DatePicker events

Set a OnDatePickerVisibilityChangeListener listener to be invoked when the dialog is shown or canceled.

Configure date representation

Representation of dates and times is an international standard covering the exchange of date- and time-related data.

The methods use the ISO 8601arrow-up-right standard.

Note: The input date mode supports only the formats dd/MM/yyyy, MM/dd/yyyy, yyyy/MM/dd and MM/yy.

The datePattern format date and times before show in input field. If not valid pattern is defined, the default MM/dd/yyyy will be used instead.

The outputPattern format date and times before sent to the Vault Proxy Server.

Date separation

VGS Collect SDK allows a developer to split date day, month, and year before submitting. To configure a new structure for date use VGSDateRangeSeparateSerializer. The date format will be used according to the value mentioned in app:outputPattern attribute.

As a result will be generated JSON with the following structure:

Set field name

Sets the text to be used for data transfer to VGS proxy. Usually, it is similar to field-name in JSON path in your inbound route filters. It is highly important to specify this parameter because the VGSCollect module relies on it too.

Warning: You must set up fieldName in another way, the input field will be ignored by VGSCollect.

Define the required state

Specifies whether the text inside the input field is required to be filled.

When app:isRequired set as true, then input data should be valid only. If app:isRequired set as false, then input data will be valid in case the field is empty. Otherwise, the input data should be valid.

By default, a widget is required.
