DatePicker Android

To select dates by day, month, and year, the DatePicker widget is used in Android. The FrameLayout class has a subclass android.widget.DatePicker. The FrameLayout class also has a subclass android.widget.TimePicker, i.e, Android also facilitates us to select time using the TimePicker widget.
