I could solve the problem but it only works when you use the actual keyboard. If you use the soft keyboard I can't get it to work.

I am programming in 1.6 version of the framework.

Any help will be much appreciate,

PS: The fact that I've search everywhere for the answer and have not been able to find it tells me that this must be so very simple or very much complicated. Help?!

I'm having the same problem ... I hope that anyone can help?

Answer 2

This is what worked for me: I found out that this issue is only an issue depending on the device your working with. I have a Samsung Moment, so after testing in other devices (obviously not all of them) and emulators I found out it was only happening with my phone.

The following link helped me solve my problem. I hope it helps you...

I've got the same problem. If I use TimePickerDialog there's no problem. For using TimePicker in a DialogPreference, this is the WORST workaround I've ever made, going down the view hierarchy of the TimePicker:

ViewGroup v = (ViewGroup) timePicker.getChildAt(0);
ViewGroup numberPicker1 = (ViewGroup) v.getChildAt(0);
ViewGroup numberPicker2 = (ViewGroup) v.getChildAt(1);

String hours = ((EditText) numberPicker1.getChildAt(1)).getText().toString();
String mins = ((EditText) numberPicker2.getChildAt(1)).getText().toString();

String selectedTime = hours+":"+mins;

This way I could access the text directly which was typed in - but there SHOULD be a better way to manage keyboard inputs...
