Each picker is a dialog with a set of controls for 27 entering the parts of the date (month, day, year) or time (hour, minute, AM/PM). Using these in your 28 app helps ensure that a user's specification of a data or time input is valid and formatted 29 correctly. The format of a time and date picker adjusts automatically to the locale.</p> 30 31 <img src="{@docRoot}design/media/picker_datetime.png"> 32
