  • DecadeView: the user can navigate to a year from the currently displayed decade.

Switching to upper view is done through the Navigation control, and to lower view - by selecting item in the current view.

Through the Navigation control the user can easily switch between the different views(or swipe gesture as well): It contains the following controls:

  • Header: Clicking on the Header navigates to upper view: MonthView -> YearView -> DecadeView -> CenturyView.
  • Previous/NextButton: change the currently displayed:
    • Month: in MonthView
    • Year: in YearView
    • Decade: in DecadeView
    • Century: in CenturyView
