I want to show datepicker popup window. i have found some examples but i am not getting it properly. i have one edittext and i want that when i click on edittext the datepicker dialog should popup and after setting the date, the date should show in edittext in dd/mm/yyyy format.. Choosing the input type configures the keyboard type that is shown, acceptable characters, and appearance of the edit text. for example, if you want to accept a secret number, like a unique pin or serial number, you can set inputtype to "numericpassword"..
