calendar in Primefaces Mobile

votes

I am looking at picking a date in Primefaces Mobile with "calendar" component: <p:calendar value="#{bean.date}" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm" /> The calendar pops up but it looks very odd. It overlaps the page content in a transparent way.

Is there a work around for this issue? Or a way to get it pop up correctly inside a dialog? Maybe to combine another framework with Primefaces?

By the way, the dialog seems not to work too in Primefaces Mobile.

Thanks

Primefaces Mobile is really great and is still under development but it doesn't implement Jquery mobile extensions like "datebox". I find a way to combine both. I included the jquery-datebox library in the header of a JSF page (see link):

<f:view xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
        xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
        xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
        xmlns:pm="http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/mobile"
        xmlns:p="http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/ui"
        contentType="text/html">

    <pm:page title="Faces">

        <f:facet name="postinit">            
            <h:outputStylesheet library="css" name="jquery.mobile-1.0b3.min.css" />
            <h:outputStylesheet library="css" name="jquery.mobile.datebox.min.css" />            
            <h:outputScript library="primefaces" name="mobile/mobile.js" />
            <h:outputScript library="js" name="jquery.mobile.datebox.min.js" />
        </f:facet>

        <!-- Main View -->
        <pm:view id="main" swatch="b">
             <pm:header title="Hello">
                <f:facet name="left">
                    <pm:button value="Back" icon="back" role="back"/>
                </f:facet>
            </pm:header>

            <pm:content>
                <h:form id="myform">
                    <h:outputText value="Input: " />
                    <h:inputText id="input" />                    
                </h:form>                
            </pm:content>

            <label for="mydate">Date: </label>                                                                           
            <input name="mydate" id="mydate" type="date" data-role="datebox" value="#{mybean.date}" 
                   data-options='{"mode": "calbox"}' />

            <div data-role="fieldcontain">
                    <label for="slider">Duration: </label>
                    <input type="range" name="slider" id="slider" 
                           value="#{mybean.duration}" min="1" max="10"  />
            </div>

            <pm:content>
                <h:form id="Form">
               <pm:field>
                    <h:outputLabel for="duration" value="duration: "/>
                    <pm:slider id="duration" min="1" max="10" value="#{mybean.duration}"/>
                </pm:field>
              </h:form>  
            </pm:content>

        </pm:view>
     </pm:page>

</f:view>

The datepicker works well but both sliders inside and outside a pm-view (see the code) are displayed like normal inputs!

Any suggestions? Thanks

PS: @administrator: a new tag is needed: "Primefaces-mobile"
