BlackBerry:Built-in Date Picker API?

In my application screen, i am having a field, where user can to choose his DateOfBirth. I want to popup any built-in "Date" calendar or some built-in Date picker to user, so that it will look professional. As i'm new to this development, i wanted to know there is any code sample available to popoup the built-in Date Picker? Note: I also want to store the selectable Date by user after selecting it in my existing persistent storage.

Thank you for your suggestions.

You probably want to use DateTimePicker. That way you don't have to go through the hassle of creating a DateField and adding it to a Dialog.

DateTimePicker datePicker = DateTimePicker.getInstance();
datePicker.doModal();
Calendar cal = datePicker.getDateTime();

For a native date picker, you can use the DateField, such as:

DateField dateField = new DateField("Date of Birth: ",DateField.DATE);

If you want this to 'pop up' you will have to add this to a dialog, unless there is a native component to do this. You can then query this field for its date, it returns a date object:

Date date = dateField.getDate();

See Date Field
