Description

Renders a date/time picker in a dropdown container.

A stand-alone DateTimePicker widget that makes it easy to select a date/time, or increment by week, month, and/or year.

It is possible to customize the user-visible formatting with either the 'formatLength' (long, short, medium or full) or 'displayFormat' attributes. By defaulty current locale will be used.

Syntax supported by 'displayFormat' is (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-4.html#Date_Format_Patterns):-

Format	Description
d	Day of the month
D	Day of year
M	Month - Use one or two for the numerical month, three for the abbreviation, or four for the full name, or 5 for the narrow name.
y	Year
h	Hour [1-12].
H	Hour [0-23].
m	Minute. Use one or two for zero padding.
s	Second. Use one or two for zero padding.

The value sent to the server is a locale-independent value, in a hidden field as defined by the name attribute. The value will be formatted conforming to RFC3 339 (yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss)

The following formats(in order) will be used to parse the values of the attributes 'value', 'startDate' and 'endDate':

SimpleDateFormat built using RFC 3339 (yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss)
SimpleDateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT)
SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT)
SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM)
SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.FULL)
SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG)
SimpleDateFormat built using the value of the 'displayFormat' attribute(if any)
