[android-developers] Re: DatePicker and TimePicker CAN NOT be skined/themed !!
Lee, Take a look at android.widget.DatePicker and android.widget.TimePicker source codes, and you'll notice that they're using date_picker.xml and time_picker.xml as they layouts. So far so good! Now take a look at date_picker.xml source code and see those com.android.internal.widget.NumberPicker components. The same story for time_picker.xml. Even the worse is that DatePicker and TimePicker are both referring to NumberPicker component in their codes. So by extending these two classes, I can't see a way to do what I want. I have to somehow deal with those internal API, unless I copy the whole code and deal with my own version of DatePicker/TimePicker/NumberPicker from scratch. Correct me if I'm wrong...

I have to somehow deal with those internal API, unless I copy the whole code and deal with my own version of DatePicker/TimePicker/NumberPicker from scratch. Correct me if I'm wrong... No, sure, I agree. I was just carping that they weren't even extendable anyway (I would have liked to change the functionallity a little for my own purposes).
