How to Change Date Picker Format in Kotlin to 01.07.2023

When developing Android applications, one common feature is a date picker, which allows users to select dates conveniently. However, you might find yourself needing to customize the output format of the selected date. A common request is to change the date format from 1.7.2023 to 01.07.2023. If you're encountering issues in doing this, don’t worry! In this guide, we’ll explore a simple solution to format the date picker in Kotlin effectively.

The Problem

Upon implementing a date picker in your Kotlin Android application, you may have noticed that the default output format is quite unpolished. This could detract from the overall user experience of your app. Users may appreciate a date format that maintains leading zeros for single-digit days and months, such as 01.07.2023 instead of 1.7.2023. Let's discuss a workable solution to this problem.

The Solution

To change the output format of the date picker to your desired format, you need to ensure that both the day and month components are zero-padded. Here’s the step-by-step approach to achieve this.

Step 1: Set up your Date Picker

You're going to need to set up the date picker within the onCreate method of your activity. Here’s the essential code block to get you started:

Formatting a date picker in Kotlin to display dates in the 01.07.2023 style is achievable with a few tweaks to your code. By implementing leading zeros for single-digit days and months, you can greatly enhance the presentation of your date inputs. Simple changes like these can make your app feel more polished and professional.

Now you're ready to implement this format change in your own applications! Happy coding!
