Using buttons instead of horizontal scrolling

Hi, the easiest way to achieve this currently is probably to track the current month. Then each time you click the previous/next button increment/decrement your counter. Create a new date instance by adding the counter to the month of a java Calendar object and call setCurrentDate(Date dateTimeMonth) on the compact calendar instance, this will set the date on the calendar to the one passed in and will update the calendar to the correct month. This is a bit of an inconvenience :(.

There is no easy way to achieve this since the calendar doesn't expose such functionality in the api, for example like showNextMonth/showPreviousMonth. Is this something you would like? If you want I can add this functionality sometime this week.

Thanks.

well it ended being not that inconvenient, since i am using JodaTime in my app, what i did based on your recommendation, is use getFirstDayOfCurrentMonth(); to obtain a date and later with joda time i added one month and set it.

 public void onClick(View v) {

                Date fechaActual = compactCalendarView.getFirstDayOfCurrentMonth();
                DateTime fechaA = new DateTime(fechaActual);

                compactCalendarView.setCurrentDate(fechaA.plusMonths(1).toDate());
            }

although it would be nice to have a method to do that in one line.

thanks for the support.

No problem, I will add some methods that will allow for this functionality some time later this week. So watch this ticket to keep up to date so that you know when to update to the latest.

Will need to release changes. Will update ticket once that's done.
