This can happen on the registration page where you are entering your date of birth or on an eligibility check page in the registration flow. The date selection window will default to January 1st, 1950, but here is a helpful tip in quickly jumping to a different year within the Android date selector interface.
The Android date selector window may have either a green or a blue banner at the top, but both will work similarly to skip ahead in years! Here are step by step instructions to use the Android date selector when entering a birthdate in the app:
- First change the year by tapping directly on the top-most "1950" that you see on the screen, found on either the green or blue background
- Scroll by sliding your finger up and down on the screen to find the correct year; when highlighted, tap the "OK" button to select the year
- Next, change the month by navigating forward through the same year by either:
- Tapping the right or left facing arrows in the blue date selector
- Scrolling up or down within the calendar field in the green date selector
- Once you are on the correct month, tap on the correct date; once date is highlighted, tap "OK" to complete your date selection
Below are images showing each step described above, for both the blue and green versions of the Android date selector.
