Lee, Take a look at "android.widget.DatePicker" and "android.widget.TimePicker" source codes, and you'll notice that they're using "date_picker.xml" and "time_picker.xml" as they layouts. So far so good! Now take a look at "date_picker.xml" source code and see those "com.android.internal.widget.NumberPicker" components. The same story for "time_picker.xml". Even the worse is that DatePicker and TimePicker are both referring to NumberPicker component in their codes.
So by extending these two classes, I can't see a way to do what I want. I have to somehow deal with those internal API, unless I copy the whole code and deal with my own version of DatePicker/TimePicker/NumberPicker from scratch. Correct me if I'm wrong...
