new Date() in value showing previous day in the picker

[milon27]

Hi @vonovak ,

2025-06-26T18:50:00.000Z this UTC time should open day 27 but its showing 26 on the picker. note: i am on GMT+06

const value= new Date("2025-06-26T18:50:00.000Z")
DateTimePickerAndroid.open({
            value,
            onChange: (event, selectedDate) => {
                console.log(JSON.stringify({ event, selectedDate }, null, 2))
                onChange(selectedDate)
            },
            mode: "date",
            design: "material"
        })

question : how to pass the value in param?

Unfortunately its a timezone issue and the maintainers do not account for timezones when building this component. You would think this would be addressed, but it goes to show you its not our fault as programmers its the maintainers fault and the lack of regulation in the industry to allow for this

To solve it you must remove the time information from the string (the part after the T) the date time picker is treating it as a timezone not a date time, you most modify the date string by pulling the system timezone information. If you happen to not understand ask the AI bot to explain what I am saying
