In android, DatePicker is a control that will allow users to select the date by a day, month and year in our
application user interface.
Generally, in android DatePicker available in two modes, one is to show the complete calendar and another one is
to show the dates in spinner view.

To get only spinner mode date selection, then we need to

TimePicker-
In Android, TimePicker is a widget used for selecting the time of the day in either AM/PM mode or 24 hours
mode. The displayed time consist of hours, minutes and clock format. If we need to show this view as a Dialog then we have
to use a TimePickerDialog class.

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:timePickerMode="spinner"/>

2. timePickerMode: time picker mode is an attribute of time picker used to set the mode either spinner or clock. Default
mode is clock but this mode is no longer used after api level 21, so from api level 21 you have to set the mode to spinner.
Example-
<TimePicker
android:id="@+id/simpleTimePicker"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:timePickerMode="spinner" /> <!-- time picker mode of a time picker -->
3. background: background attribute is used to set the background of a time picker. We can set a color or a drawable image

paddingBottom: set the padding from the bottom side of the time picker.
Padding: set the padding from the all side’s of the time picker.
Example- android:padding="20dp"/>
Methods of TimePicker:
1. setCurrentHour(Integer currentHour):
This method is used to set the current hours in a time picker.

TimePicker simpleTimePicker=(TimePicker)findViewById(R.id.simpleTimePicker); // initiate a time picker
// set the value for current hours
simpleTimePicker.setCurrentHour(5);

2. setCurrentMinute(Integer currentMinute):
This method is used to set the current minutes in a time picker.
Example-
TimePicker simpleTimePicker=(TimePicker)findViewById(R.id.simpleTimePicker); // initiate a time picker
// set the value for current hours
simpleTimePicker.setCurrentMinute(35);
3. getCurrentHour():
This method is used to get the current hours from a time picker.
Example-
TimePicker simpleTimePicker = (TimePicker)findViewById(R.id.simpleTimePicker); // initiate a time
pickerint hours =simpleTimePicker.getCurrentHour(); // before api level 23
int hours =simpleTimePicker.getHour();

4. getCurrentMinute():
This method is used to get the current minutes from a time picker.
Example-

5. setIs24HourView(Boolean is24HourView):

7. setOnTimeChangedListener(TimePicker.OnTimeChangedListener onTimeChangedListener):
This method is used to set the callback that indicates the time has been adjusted by the user.
onTimeChanged(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) is an override function of this listener in which we have three
parameters first is for TimePicker, second for getting hour of the day and last is for getting the minutes after changing the
time of the time picker.
Example-
TimePicker simpleTimePicker = (TimePicker)findViewById(R.id.simpleTimePicker); // initiate a time picker
