In this post, I'm going to share the code which will help you to pick date-time from Flutter showDatePicker function.
Below is a reference to what we are going to build in this example.
![](https://fluttercentral.com/Uploads/746a2f61-8fee-4dee-b9fd-5eff11ca9601.gifwidth="35%height="auto](
In this example, we have used the out of the box showDatePicker function.
Here is the full code from main.dart file.
runApp(new MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
// This widget is the root of your application.
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: new ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
),
home: new MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Date Picker Example'),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
final String title;
@override
_MyHomePageState createState() => new _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State {
var finaldate;
void callDatePicker() async {
var order = await getDate();
setState(() {
finaldate = order;
});
}
Future getDate() {
// Imagine that this function is
// more complex and slow.
return showDatePicker(
context: context,
initialDate: DateTime.now(),
firstDate: DateTime(2018),
lastDate: DateTime(2030),
builder: (BuildContext context, Widget child) {
return Theme(
data: ThemeData.light(),
child: child,
);
},
);
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: new Text(widget.title),
),
body: new Center(
child: new Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: [
Container(
decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.grey[200]),
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 30.0),
child: finaldate == null
? Text(
"Use below button to Select a Date",
textScaleFactor: 2.0,
)
: Text(
"$finaldate",
textScaleFactor: 2.0,
),
),
new RaisedButton(
onPressed: callDatePicker,
color: Colors.blueAccent,
child:
new Text('Click here', style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white)),
),
],
),
),
);
}
}
color: white !important; font-size: 14px;](
`
Hope this will be helpful to you.
