Save dates from date picker

[Mark_c]

Hi forum, this is my first post here. I'm a newbie.

I am having a hard time working with dates. Specifically, when it comes to saving and loading dates from TinyDB.

This is the app I am trying to create (or part of it rather, I have tried to keep it to the core issues):

• A date (OldDate) is displayed in a label and saved to TinyDB (initally, that date is the current date).
• There is also a date picker to change that date.
• When it is changed, the date shown in the label is updated and the new date (NewDate) is saved to TinyDB.
• The app calculates the difference in days between the old and the new date and saves that as a variable (DifferenceInDays).
• When the date is changed again, that NewDate becomes OldDate.
• The app calculates the difference in days and updates the DifferenceInDays variable.

Thanks a lot, Taifun, I have had a look around that, and learned a bit. However, I seem to be learning more by just tinkering around with it. I believe now have an app that does just what I described above.

Anyone, feel free to comment on my solution. This may be far from the most efficient way of doing this, or there may be real flaws.
