The Year picker Component in Android Apps
The Year picker is a core part of Android UI, and thoughtful implementations often define whether an app feels polished or sloppy. This page collects real Year picker examples from the Page Flows Android library, documented inside the user flows they appear in.
Material Design vs Custom Year picker Patterns
Seeing Year picker in context matters on Android especially, where Material Design provides guidance but leaves plenty of room for brand-specific adaptations. You'll see how apps implement Year picker across different app categories — some using classic Material patterns, others pushing the component in custom directions.
A Reference for Android Designers
For Android designers building a design system, evaluating a new interaction, or researching how Year picker behaves in practice, this library shortcuts days of manual research into a browsable, current reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Year picker look like in Android apps?
Implementations vary — some follow Material Design guidelines strictly, others adapt the Year picker for custom design systems. The library shows both approaches side by side.
Can I see Year picker examples across different Android app categories?
Yes. Year picker appears across app types, and each example is tagged by brand and category so you can compare implementations across fintech, social, productivity, and other spaces.
Are Year picker examples captured with Material Design 3?
Many are. As apps migrate to Material Design 3 (Material You), the library captures those updates, so you can study modern Android Year picker patterns.
How does the Android Year picker differ from iOS?
Android Year picker components often have Material-specific behaviors — different triggers, transitions, and visual conventions — that don't translate from iOS. Comparing them across platforms is a common research use case.
