My students are creating an app where they have to add a datepicker in design view and program it for the user to choose a date. The set date is not working and only half text appears when they run the app because the calendar covers half of the top half of those words. When you try to tap on set date, nothing happens and only the current date will appear in the database. Any help would be appreciated.
do you have a screen shot of the issue?
and the relevant blocks?
Working OK here:
setDate.aia (2.4 KB)
(IIRC, there may be an issue if theme is set to Classic, ensure theme is set to Device Default)
Here is the screenshot of the code. We placed the date picker in design view. I tried the things mentioned in the forum and still now working. Nothing happens when I try to press the set date when running the app.
Export and upload the complete aia file?

Here's what i saw on my test run:
The date from the date picker was going into the TinyDB value along with the user answer text, under a tag consisting of the user name and question index (separator needed there).
The Date Picker .Text was not updated after it was set.
What you needed:
Notice in my sample Companion run that I had a garbage FONTSIZE tag left over in TinyDB from other apps I was testing. That's just how the Companion works.
I take issue with your TinyDB storage scheme. You fail to store the question with the answer and you do not separate the user name from the question number in the tag.
I would use
Tag = ABG | 1 (Note the '|' separator)
Value: question | answer | Date (assuming the questions and answers don't include '|')
Alternatively, store a dictionary for each answer with keys "question", "answer", "date" and corresponding values.
P.S. I would use a List Picker instead of the ListView, for a pop up display. If you insist on a ListView, you have to drop it to the bottom or corral it into an Arrangement to stop it from overflowing the buttons under it.
