Bikram Sambat(B.S) Based Date Picker for Android, with Material Design

I have been developing in an Android platform, on and off, for two years now. I have been involved in many projects, but I have survived until last in only a few of them. Even if I haven’t completed all of the projects I initiated, I have always felt the need for the Nepali calendar system. I am not saying that the Nepali calendar system should be predominantly active, but at least it should be there if someone wants to use it. There are already a lot of developers and organizations providing that service. And yes, it is not even that hard to develop on your own. But why should we give our time to those which need less attention than what we should focus on? Not that we should not, but we can at least make it easier. OK, enough with the boring stuff; I am new to the medium, and just to make a first post, I am writing this article, which I don’t even know is necessary.

I have made one library available for those who are involved or related to Android in Java. And anyone beyond that scope, download the source code and use it in a way, whatever you can. If you want, use it to launch a rocket, I won't mind, but please don’t use it to set a date in Nepali for your time bomb or any kind of bomb, Please, not because I will be liable, but because I want you to focus on the more creative side. You can even download and delete half the code and republish another half if you want. possibilities with that code, immense.

You can find everything you need HERE. Hit me up if you can’t and think I can help. Not with rock or bullet, with “message”.

Never mind the language and words used here. Even if the grammar is wrong and meanings are double, make sense out of them, at your own risk, of course. I am trying to learn to write, and the irony is I spent almost 50% of the time, the time I was breathing, in an institution that was meant to teach the exact same thing. other 20–30%, you know what I mean.

Have a chill pill.
