[MaterialDatePicker] docs

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No docs found for MaterialDatePicker

Describe the solution you’d like Add docs, examples about how to use MaterialDatePicker including, how to use new range select.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered using a third party library to implement date range select.

Additional context I was came to know about new material component release, something that caught my eye was range select in MaterialDatePicker, but at least I did not found any docs on how to use MaterialDatePicker. I did not even found a view in android studio layout, just the android.wiget.datepicker, even though I added the material dependency.

@marcoRS Were you able to set the time zone on the calendar date picker itself? I have a method that builds the calendar and returns the long of the date/time selected. I’m trying to avoid having to set the time zone on all my SimpleDateFormatters as such.

            sSimpleDateFormat= new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy", Locale.getDefault());
            sSimpleDateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

Not sure how I can do this

You can start from the demo example.

Something like:

   MaterialDatePicker.Builder<Pair<Long, Long>> builderRange =
        MaterialDatePicker.Builder.dateRangePicker();
    CalendarConstraints.Builder constraintsBuilderRange = new CalendarConstraints.Builder();
    //.....
    builderRange.setCalendarConstraints(constraintsBuilderRange.build());
    MaterialDatePicker<?> pickerRange = builderRange.build();
    pickerRange.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), pickerRange.toString());
