rememberDatePickerState

Composable Function

Common
@Composable
fun rememberDatePickerState(
    @Suppress("AutoBoxing") initialSelectedDateMillis: Long? = null,
    @Suppress("AutoBoxing") initialDisplayedMonthMillis: Long? = initialSelectedDateMillis,
    yearRange: IntRange = DatePickerDefaults.YearRange,
    initialDisplayMode: DisplayMode = DisplayMode.Picker,
    selectableDates: SelectableDates = DatePickerDefaults.AllDates,
): DatePickerState

Creates a DatePickerState for a DatePicker that is remembered across compositions.

To create a date picker state outside composition, see the DatePickerState function.

Parameters

initialSelectedDateMillistimestamp in UTC milliseconds from the epoch that represents an initial selection of a date. Provide a null to indicate no selection.
initialDisplayedMonthMillistimestamp in UTC milliseconds from the epoch that represents an initial selection of a month to be displayed to the user. By default, in case an initialSelectedDateMillis is provided, the initial displayed month would be the month of the selected date. Otherwise, in case null is provided, the displayed month would be the current one.
yearRangean IntRange that holds the year range that the date picker will be limited to
initialDisplayModean initial DisplayMode that this state will hold
selectableDatesa SelectableDates that is consulted to check if a date is allowed. In case a date is not allowed to be selected, it will appear disabled in the UI.
Jvm
@RequiresApi(26)
@Composable
@ExperimentalMaterial3Api
fun rememberDatePickerState(
    initialSelectedDate: LocalDate?,
    initialDisplayedMonth: YearMonth? = initialSelectedDate?.let { YearMonth.from(it) },
    yearRange: IntRange = DatePickerDefaults.YearRange,
    initialDisplayMode: DisplayMode = DisplayMode.Picker,
    selectableDates: SelectableDates = DatePickerDefaults.AllDates,
): DatePickerState

Creates a DatePickerState for a DatePicker that is remembered across compositions.

Note: This composable uses LocalDate and YearMonth. For a lower-level composable that uses UTC milliseconds, see the other rememberDatePickerState overload.

The initial values are converted to UTC milliseconds at the start of the day (midnight):

  • initialSelectedDate is used to set DatePickerState.selectedDateMillis.
  • initialDisplayedMonth is used to set DatePickerState.displayedMonthMillis, based on the first day of that month.

To create a date picker state outside composition, see the DatePickerState function.

Parameters

initialSelectedDatea LocalDate for an initial date selection. Provide a null to indicate no selection.
initialDisplayedMonthan optional YearMonth for an initial month that will be displayed to the user. By default, in case an initialSelectedDate is provided, the initial displayed month would be the month of the selected date. You may provide a different initial month, or null to display the current one.
yearRangean IntRange that holds the year range that the date picker will be limited to
initialDisplayModean initial DisplayMode that this state will hold
selectableDatesa SelectableDates that is consulted to check if a date is allowed. In case a date is not allowed to be selected, it will appear disabled in the UI.
