Use this function it will enable you to pic date and time one by one then set it to global variable date  No library no XML    Calendar date  public void showDateTimePicker        final Calendar currentDate   Calendar getInstance       date   Calendar getInstance       new DatePickerDialog context  new DatePickerDialog OnDateSetListener             Override        public void onDateSet DatePicker view  int year  int monthOfYear  int dayOfMonth                date set year  monthOfYear  dayOfMonth               new TimePickerDialog context  new TimePickerDialog OnTimeSetListener                      Override                 public void onTimeSet TimePicker view  int hourOfDay  int minute                        date set Calendar HOUR OF DAY  hourOfDay                       date set Calendar MINUTE  minute                       Log v TAG   The choosen one     date getTime                                      currentDate get Calendar HOUR OF DAY   currentDate get Calendar MINUTE   false  show                   currentDate get Calendar YEAR   currentDate get Calendar MONTH   currentDate get Calendar DATE   show

I created a library to do this  It also has customizable colors   It s very simple to use   First you create a listener   private SlideDateTimeListener listener   new SlideDateTimeListener           Override     public void onDateTimeSet Date date                   Do something with the date  This Date object contains            the date and time that the user has selected              Override     public void onDateTimeCancel                    Overriding onDateTimeCancel   is optional             Then you create and show the dialog   new SlideDateTimePicker Builder getSupportFragmentManager         setListener listener       setInitialDate new Date         build        show      I hope you find it useful

Another option is the android-wheel project that comes pretty close the the UIDatePicker dialog of iOS   It provides a vertical slider to pick anything including date and time   If you prefer horizontal slider  the DateSlider referenced by Rabi is better

I also wanted to combine a DatePicker and a TimePicker  So I create an API to handle both in one interface      https   github com Kunzisoft Android-SwitchDateTimePicker    You can also use SublimePicker

The URLs you link to show how to pop up a dialog with a time picker and another dialog with a date picker   However you need to be aware that you can use those UI widgets directly in your own layout   You could build your own dialog that includes both a TimePicker and DatePicker in the same view  thus accomplishing what I think you are looking for   In other words  instead of using TimePickerDialog and DatePickerDialog  just use the UI widgets TimePicker and DatePicker directly in your own dialog or activity

I was facing the same problem in one of my projects and have decided to make a custom widget that has both the date and the time picker in one user-friendly dialog  You can get the source code along with an example at http   code google com p datetimepicker   The code is licensed under Apache 2 0

Here is a more compact version of Jaydeep s idea of showing one dialog after the other  I like this solution because it has no dependencies           Date value   new Date            final Calendar cal   Calendar getInstance            cal setTime value           new DatePickerDialog this              new DatePickerDialog OnDateSetListener                      Override public void onDateSet DatePicker view                           int y  int m  int d                        cal set Calendar YEAR  y                       cal set Calendar MONTH  m                       cal set Calendar DAY OF MONTH  d                           now show the time picker                     new TimePickerDialog NoteEditor this                          new TimePickerDialog OnTimeSetListener                                  Override public void onTimeSet TimePicker view                                       int h  int min                                    cal set Calendar HOUR OF DAY  h                                   cal set Calendar MINUTE  min                                   value   cal getTime                                                             cal get Calendar HOUR OF DAY                                cal get Calendar MINUTE   true  show                                      cal get Calendar YEAR   cal get Calendar MONTH               cal get Calendar DAY OF MONTH   show
