First day of the week bug

[Alex]

Using Xamarin. I am trying to programmatically change the first day of the week (here to Monday) on the calendar.

    var cal = calendarView.Calendar;

    cal.FirstDayOfWeek = 2;

    calendarView.Calendar = cal;

So the issue is that if the locale defined on the phone has first day of the week as Sunday (en-US for example) then the days title would change correctly but the dates themselves remain as if the first day is still Sunday. 

 It would look something like that (in the broken state)

Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun

19    20   21     22   23  24  25

 

Could use some help with this issue, am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Alex.

Hello Alex,

Thank you for writing.

Yes, this is the appropriate way to change the first day of the week. However, I have to confirm that currently this is not working as expected, i.e. only the day names' order is updated, but the dates that are displayed below are not reflected by the change. We are going to fix this as soon as possible so you will be able to download the updated version next month.

Thanks. We are looking forward to the update. This is obviously a serious issue.

Is there a date set already for that?

Hi Gilad,

There is no specific date set yet, but it will be around the middle of August.

Has this been fixed yet?

Hello Kyle,

As promised, the fix has been included in the August's release of UI for Xamarin.Android.
It will be also included in the next official release of UI for Android, scheduled for the end of this month.

Let us know if you need further assistance.
