Code snippet

Note that as these are part of the extras component, we need to include import com.nokia.extras 1.0 in our QML script.

import QtQuick 1.1 
import com.nokia.meego 1.0
import com.nokia.extras 1.0   
 
Page{
    id:dialogPage
    function showTimePicker(){
        timePickerDialog.open()
    }
    function showDatePicker(){
        datePickerDialog.open()
    }
    function timePickerAccepted(){
        dateLabel.text = "Selected Time: "+timePickerDialog.hour+":"+timePickerDialog.minute+":"+timePickerDialog.second
    }
    function datePickerAccepted(){
        dateLabel.text = "Selected Date: "+datePickerDialog.day+"/"+datePickerDialog.month+"/"+datePickerDialog.year
    }
    ButtonColumn{
        id:buttonColumn
        anchors.top: parent.top ; anchors.topMargin: 20
        width: parent.width
        Button{
            text: "Show Date Picker"
            onClicked: {
                showDatePicker()
            }
        }
        Button{
            text: "Show Timer Picker"
            onClicked: {
                showTimePicker()
            }
        }
    }
    Label{
        id:dateLabel
        anchors.top:buttonColumn.bottom ; anchors.topMargin: 20
        width: buttonColumn.width; height: buttonColumn.height
    }
    DatePickerDialog{
        id:datePickerDialog
        titleText: "Select Date"
        onAccepted: {datePickerAccepted()}
    }
    TimePickerDialog{
        id:timePickerDialog
        titleText: "Select Time"
        acceptButtonText: "Confirm"
        rejectButtonText: "Reject"
        onAccepted: timePickerAccepted()
    }
}
