Here’s the skivvy on the review. Since, I made the commitment to read this Droid book, I’m going to provide review notes for each hour of the book immediately after I complete that section of the book. In theory you’ll see 24 separate posts over the next few days containing my personal notes on my experience with the book.

Hour 11 Review Notes

There’s always a few built-in dialogs to any platform and Android Development is no different.  I’ll be working with the DatePickerDialog and exploring others (reading about) and then learn to build my own custom dialog.  This looks like a fairly short chapter, so I’ll track how long it takes to complete.

Below is the generic implementation of the DatePickerDialog with the current date set as the default.

Time dateOfBirth = new Time();
dateOfBirth.set(dayOfMonth, monthOfYear, year);

Completion time for this chapter/hour:  ~50 minutes
