How to feed DatePicker widget with other calendar sytems?
Is there anyway to use DatePicker widget with other calendar systems ?
I need a picker for Jalali (Persian) Calendar system, but i dont know how to feed DatePicker with my data.
I've studied methods related to DatePicker but couldn't find anything that allows me to do that.
I also found a custom widget called android-wheel, its a iOS-styled widget and does not feel native, but it allows me to implement this.
so is there anyway to have a native-looking DatePicker widget that allows me to pick date for Jalali Calendar system and have month names in persian ?
UPDATE: I've previously answered my question and it solves the problem, But @Mohamad Amin has created a great library for that, and i strongly advise you to use his library (Thanks Mohamad Amin).
Answer
I ended up using NumberPicker widget, since it's only available to API 11 and up, I've used android-numberpicker library. Although there is a android-datepicker is available by the same author, but i couldn't use it.
Here is my code, just add android-numberpicker as library.
