Cannot Programmatically Select Last Date In Range

Disclaimer: I am writing my app in Kotlin

For my app I need the last date in my range to be the current date, and for the current date to be the default selection when the view loads. When I provide the current date as the endDate for the calendar, the calendar selects the first date in the range as the default.

val startDate = Calendar.getInstance()
startDate.add(Calendar.MONTH, -1)

val endDate = Calendar.getInstance()

datePicker = HorizontalCalendar.Builder(activity, R.id.calendarView)
    .range(startDate, endDate)
    .datesNumberOnScreen(7)
    .build()

When the view loads, the calendar has selected the first date in the range. I have also tried adding the following after the above code:

datePicker?.selectDate(Calendar.getInstance(), true) datePicker?.goToday(true)

as well as adding the following to my build chain:

.defaultSelectedDate(Calendar.getInstance())

and none of those did the trick. if I increase the endDate by a single day everything works fine.

I am still able to manually select the final date in the range, everything still works fine with manual selection.

I saw in an old thread there had been issues with the number of dates displayed, and I tried changing that to 5. This also had no effect.

Thanks in advance!

Steps to Reproduce the Problem (sample code if possible)

1. Initialize a HorizontalCalendar with Calendar.getInstance() as the end date.

Specifications

• Android Version: 26
• Horizontal-Calendar Version: 1.3.0

@Mulham-Raee I upgraded to 1.3.4 and I still have this behavior. The last date (today) is automatically selected when the view loads, but If I select another date and then select the last date (today) again, the ui shows my selection but onDateSelected is not invoked.

Here’s my setup for your reference

        val startDate = Calendar.getInstance()
        startDate.add(Calendar.MONTH, -1)

        val endDate = Calendar.getInstance()

        datePicker = HorizontalCalendar.Builder(activity, R.id.calendarView)
                .range(startDate, endDate)
                .datesNumberOnScreen(7)
                .build()

        datePicker?.calendarListener = object: HorizontalCalendarListener() {
            override fun onDateSelected(date: Calendar?, position: Int) {
                selectDate(date)
            }
        }

Please let me know if there’s any other info you would find helpful.

Thanks!

Yes this is probably related to the same problem, thanks for pointing it out.
