TimePicker in Kotlin

TimePicker in Kotlin

Using a TimePicker in an Android application with Kotlin is straightforward. TimePicker allows users to select a specific time of day. Here's a simple example to illustrate how to use a TimePicker dialog in a Kotlin Android application.

Step 1: Set up a new Kotlin Android project

If you haven't already, create a new Android project in Android Studio and make sure to select Kotlin as the programming language.

Step 2: Add a button to your layout

In your activity_main.xml or equivalent, add a Button that, when clicked, will show the TimePicker:

<Button android:id="@+id/showTimePickerButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Pick Time" android:layout_gravity="center"/>

Step 3: Implement the TimePicker in your MainActivity.kt

import android.app.TimePickerDialog import android.os.Bundle import android.widget.Button import android.widget.Toast import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) val showTimePickerButton: Button = findViewById(R.id.showTimePickerButton) showTimePickerButton.setOnClickListener { val timeSetListener = TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener { _, hour, minute -> val selectedTime = "$hour:$minute" Toast.makeText(this, selectedTime, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show() } val timePickerDialog = TimePickerDialog( this, timeSetListener, 12, // Default hour 0, // Default minute false // Use 24 hour format ) timePickerDialog.show() } } }

When you run the app and click the "Pick Time" button, a TimePicker dialog will appear. After selecting a time and pressing "OK", a Toast will display the selected time.

Remember, there's also a TimePicker widget that you can directly place in your layout, but the above example shows a common usage scenario where a TimePicker is used within a dialog.
