i not understanding have done wrong. please suggest solution.

i'll try address problem, not sure first reason.

1. the calendar opening on second click because using edittext. on first click, edit text focus. second click calls onclicklistener.

   if not looking forward edit date set manually (using keyboard), why not using textview display selected date?

2. the problem date not updating in edittext occurring because not setting datesetlistener in code. need set notify system date set. datechange listener returns date while changing date, , doesn't appear setting date in edittext.

try code:

            calendar cal = calendar.getinstance(timezone.getdefault());             datepickerdialog datepicker = new datepickerdialog(this,                 r.style.appblacktheme,                 datepickerlistener,                 cal.get(calendar.year),                  cal.get(calendar.month),                 cal.get(calendar.day_of_month));              datepicker.setcancelable(false);             datepicker.settitle("select date");              return datepicker;         }     } catch (exception e) {         showmsgdialog("exception",             "an error occured while showing date picker\n\n"             + " error details:\n" + e.tostring(), "ok");     }     return null; }   private datepickerdialog.ondatesetlistener datepickerlistener = new datepickerdialog.ondatesetlistener() {      // when dialog box closed, below method called.     public void ondateset(datepicker view, int selectedyear, int selectedmonth, int selectedday) {         string year1 = string.valueof(selectedyear);         string month1 = string.valueof(selectedmonth + 1);         string day1 = string.valueof(selectedday);         textview tvdt = (textview) findviewbyid(r.id.tvdate);         tvdt.settext(day1 + "/" + month1 + "/" + year1);     } }; 

in this, updating date textview id "tvdate". advise using textview instead of edittext , try code.

update

if need use edittext , load calender in first click, try setting onfocuslistner edittext instead of onclicklistner.

edittext.setonfocuschangelistener(new onfocuschangelistener() {     @override     public void onfocuschange(view v, boolean hasfocus) {         if(hasfocus) {            // show calender here          } else {            // hide calender here         }     } });
