This example demonstrates how to use the HijriDatePickerController for SfHijriDateRangePicker.


class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
 @override
 MyAppState createState() => MyAppState();
}

class MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
 HijriDatePickerController _pickerController =
 HijriDatePickerController();

 @override
 void initState() {
   _pickerController.selectedDates = <HijriDateTime>[
     HijriDateTime.now().add(Duration(days: 2)),
     HijriDateTime.now().add(Duration(days: 4)),
     HijriDateTime.now().add(Duration(days: 7)),
     HijriDateTime.now().add(Duration(days: 11))
   ];
   _pickerController.displayDate = HijriDateTime.now();
   _pickerController.addPropertyChangedListener(handlePropertyChange);
   super.initState();
 }

 void handlePropertyChange(String propertyName) {
   if (propertyName == 'selectedDates') {
     final List<HijriDateTime> selectedDates =
                                        _pickerController.selectedDates!;
   } else if (propertyName == 'displayDate') {
     final HijriDateTime displayDate = _pickerController.displayDate!;
   }
 }

 @override
 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
   return MaterialApp(
     home: Scaffold(
       body: SfHijriDateRangePicker(
         view: HijriDatePickerView.month,
         controller: _pickerController,
         selectionMode: DateRangePickerSelectionMode.multiple,
       ),
     ),
