The date picker for a date input field is made using javascript on client side. To trigger a round trip , you have to write some code on client side.
Code mentioned below has to be written on .htm page of the view.
<script>
thtmlbCalendar.pick = function(e) {
var o = (e.target) ? e.target : e.srcElement;
var sId = this.lastInstance;
var oInput = thtmlbGetElement(sId);
if (o.id === "currentDate") {
e.cancelBubble=true;
return;
}
var currentDateValue = document.getElementById('currentDate').value;
while (o.tagName != "TD") {
o = o.parentNode;
if (o == null){
return;
}
}
var sDay = o.id;
if (sDay==null || sDay==""){
return;
}
if (sDay) {
var aDate = sDay.split("-");
var arrValue = [];
arrValue[0]=parseInt(aDate[2]);
arrValue[1]=parseInt(aDate[1]);
arrValue[2]=parseInt(aDate[0], 10);
var newValue = this.getFormattedDate(arrValue[0], arrValue[1], arrValue[2]);
thtmlbSetInputFieldAttribute(oInput, 'encodedValue', newValue);
e.cancelBubble=true;
oInput.focus();
this.hide();
var element_event = sId + ":submitonenter";
htmlbSL(this,2,element_event,'0');
}
};
</script>
You don't need to change anything in the above code.
If you want to avoid writing the code on .htm page then you can also write the above code in a js file and upload in your component through tcode se80->MIME repository->SAP->BC->BSP->SAP->Your component name->right click for Import MIME Objects->select your JS file.
After the js file upload is complete, include js file in your htm page.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/sap/bc/bsp/sap/your_compoent_name/your_js_name.js"></script>
