Methods

show

show(options)
Show the plugin with specified options.

show(options, successCallback, errorCallback)
Show the plugin with specified options and callbacks.

This was the original way to call the plugin, and is kept for compatibility.

Note: The successCallback and errorCallback respectively will be ignored if the success or error callback is provided on the options argument.

Options

Name	Type	Default	Android	iOS
mode	String	date	date, time, datetime	date, time, datetime	The display mode
date	Date		required	required	The initial date to display
allowOldDates	boolean	true			Allow older dates to be selected
allowFutureDates	boolean	true			Allow future dates to be selected
minDate	Date				Set the minimum date that can be selected
maxDate	Date				Set the maximum date that can be selected
minuteInterval	int	1	>= Honeycomb		For minute spinner the number of minutes per step
locale	String	(user default)	-		The locale to use for text and date/time
okText	String	(os default)			The text to use for the ok button
cancelText	String	(os default)			The text to use for the cancel button
clearText	String				The text to use for the clear button

success	Function(date)	-			The success callback

error	Function(err)	-			The error callback
android	Object	{}	optional	ignored	Android specific options

When providing the clearText property, an extra button is shown with intent to clear the current date. When the user taps this button, the success callback will be called with an undefined date. From a UI perspective, this button should be hidden by application code when no date is currently set by omitting the property, but this is up to you.

Android options

On Lollipop and upwards the date and time pickers changed to calendar and radial pickers. If you want to use spinners (for example to use minuteInterval), use a built-in android.R.style theme that shows a date and time picker with spinners or read up here how to customize this.

Example

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {

    var myDate = new Date(); // From model.

    cordova.plugins.DateTimePicker.show({
        mode: "date",
        date: myDate,
        success: function(newDate) {
            // Handle new date.
            console.info(newDate);
            myDate = newDate;
        }
    });
}

hide

hide()
Hide the date time picker.

If the picker is currently being shown and a cancel-callback was provided in the options, the callback will be called when the picker is hidden.

Example

cordova.plugins.DateTimePicker.hide();
