POMultiple DatePickers in same activity

Body
copied!<p>I am absolutely new to the Android platform and have been building an application while learning the development process.</p> <p>Currently, I am working on an activity in which i need to deploy 2 date pickers. One is a "Start Date" and the other is an "End date". I have been following the DatePicker tutorial on the android developers page here: <a href="http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-datepicker.html" rel="noreferrer">http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-datepicker.html</a></p> <p>For one DatePicker, it works just fine.</p> <p>Now my problem is, when I replicate the whole process for a second date picker, it shows up just fine on the emulator as well as on the handset. But when no matter which button I press to select the dates, only the first TextView is updated and the second TextView keeps showing the current date.</p> <p>Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>package com.datepicker; import java.util.Calendar; import android.app.Activity; import android.app.DatePickerDialog; import android.app.Dialog; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.DatePicker; import android.widget.TextView; public class datepicker extends Activity { private TextView mDateDisplay; private TextView endDateDisplay; private Button mPickDate; private Button endPickDate; private int mYear; private int mMonth; private int mDay; static final int START_DATE_DIALOG_ID = 0; static final int END_DATE_DIALOG_ID = 0; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); /* capture our View elements for the start date function */ mDateDisplay = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.startdateDisplay); mPickDate = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startpickDate); /* add a click listener to the button */ mPickDate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { showDialog(START_DATE_DIALOG_ID); } }); /* get the current date */ final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); mYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR); mMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH); mDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); /* display the current date (this method is below) */ updateStartDisplay(); /* capture our View elements for the end date function */ endDateDisplay = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.enddateDisplay); endPickDate = (Button) findViewById(R.id.endpickDate); /* add a click listener to the button */ endPickDate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { showDialog(END_DATE_DIALOG_ID); } }); /* get the current date */ final Calendar c1 = Calendar.getInstance(); mYear = c1.get(Calendar.YEAR); mMonth = c1.get(Calendar.MONTH); mDay = c1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); /* display the current date (this method is below) */ updateEndDisplay(); } private void updateEndDisplay() { endDateDisplay.setText( new StringBuilder() // Month is 0 based so add 1 .append(mMonth + 1).append("-") .append(mDay).append("-") .append(mYear).append(" ")); } private void updateStartDisplay() { mDateDisplay.setText( new StringBuilder() // Month is 0 based so add 1 .append(mMonth + 1).append("-") .append(mDay).append("-") .append(mYear).append(" ")); } </code></pre> <p>/* the callback received when the user "sets" the date in the dialog for the start date function */ </p> <pre><code> private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() { public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) { mYear = year; mMonth = monthOfYear; mDay = dayOfMonth; updateStartDisplay(); } }; @Override protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) { switch (id) { case START_DATE_DIALOG_ID: return new DatePickerDialog(this, mDateSetListener, mYear, mMonth, mDay); } return null; } /* the callback received when the user "sets" the date in the dialog for the end date function */ private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener endDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() { public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) { mYear = year; mMonth = monthOfYear; mDay = dayOfMonth; updateStartDisplay(); } }; protected Dialog onCreateDialog1(int id) { switch (id) { case END_DATE_DIALOG_ID: return new DatePickerDialog(this, endDateSetListener, mYear, mMonth, mDay); } return null; } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>Please advise on the changes required for the code.</p>
