public class DatePicker extends ComboBoxBase<LocalDate>
The value property represents the
currently selected LocalDate. An initial date can
be set via the constructor
or by calling setValue(). The
default value is null.
final DatePicker datePicker = new DatePicker();
datePicker.setOnAction(new EventHandler() {
public void handle(Event t) {
LocalDate date = datePicker.getValue();
System.err.println("Selected date: " + date);
}
});
chronology property specifies a
calendar system to be used for parsing, displaying, and choosing
dates.
The value property is always defined in
the ISO calendar system, however, so applications based on a
different chronology may use the conversion methods provided in the
Chronology API to get or set the
corresponding ChronoLocalDate value. For
example:
LocalDate isoDate = datePicker.getValue();
ChronoLocalDate chronoDate =
((isoDate != null) ? datePicker.getChronology().date(isoDate) : null);
System.err.println("Selected date: " + chronoDate);

public final Callback<DatePicker,DateCell> getDayCellFactory()
public final ObjectProperty<Callback<DatePicker,DateCell>> dayCellFactoryProperty()
public final ObjectProperty<Chronology> chronologyProperty()
The default value is returned from a call to
Chronology.ofLocale(Locale.getDefault(Locale.Category.FORMAT)).
The default is usually IsoChronology unless
provided explicitly in the Locale by use of a
Locale calendar extension.
Setting the value to null will restore the default
chronology.
public final Chronology getChronology()
public final void setChronology(Chronology value)
public final BooleanProperty showWeekNumbersProperty()
The default value is specified in a resource bundle, and depends on the country of the current locale.
public final void setShowWeekNumbers(boolean value)
public final boolean isShowWeekNumbers()
public final ObjectProperty<StringConverter<LocalDate>> converterProperty()
If not set by the application, the DatePicker skin class will
set a converter based on a DateTimeFormatter
for the current Locale and
chronology. This formatter is
then used to parse and display the current date value.
Setting the value to null will restore the default
converter.
Example using an explicit formatter:
datePicker.setConverter(new StringConverter<LocalDate>() {
String pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd";
DateTimeFormatter dateFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(pattern);
{
datePicker.setPromptText(pattern.toLowerCase());
}
@Override public String toString(LocalDate date) {
if (date != null) {
return dateFormatter.format(date);
} else {
return "";
}
}
@Override public LocalDate fromString(String string) {
if (string != null && !string.isEmpty()) {
return LocalDate.parse(string, dateFormatter);
} else {
return null;
}
}
});
Example that wraps the default formatter and catches parse exceptions:
final StringConverter<LocalDate> defaultConverter = datePicker.getConverter();
datePicker.setConverter(new StringConverter<LocalDate>() {
@Override public String toString(LocalDate value) {
return defaultConverter.toString(value);
}
@Override public LocalDate fromString(String text) {
try {
return defaultConverter.fromString(text);
} catch (DateTimeParseException ex) {
System.err.println("HelloDatePicker: "+ex.getMessage());
throw ex;
}
}
});
The default base year for parsing input containing only two digits for
the year is 2000 (see DateTimeFormatter). This
default is not useful for allowing a person's date of birth to be typed.
The following example modifies the converter's fromString() method to
allow a two digit year for birth dates up to 99 years in the past.
@Override public LocalDate fromString(String text) {
if (text != null && !text.isEmpty()) {
Locale locale = Locale.getDefault(Locale.Category.FORMAT);
Chronology chrono = datePicker.getChronology();
String pattern =
DateTimeFormatterBuilder.getLocalizedDateTimePattern(FormatStyle.SHORT,
null, chrono, locale);
String prePattern = pattern.substring(0, pattern.indexOf("y"));
String postPattern = pattern.substring(pattern.lastIndexOf("y")+1);
int baseYear = LocalDate.now().getYear() - 99;
DateTimeFormatter df = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder()
.parseLenient()
.appendPattern(prePattern)
.appendValueReduced(ChronoField.YEAR, 2, 2, baseYear)
.appendPattern(postPattern)
.toFormatter();
return LocalDate.from(chrono.date(df.parse(text)));
} else {
return null;
}
}
