.NET MAUI Android DatePicker to Align with Latest Material Design

[abbottyitong]

Based on the latest Material Design Guidelines
According to the most recent Material Design specifications for Android DatePicker, the following features are recommended:

1. Outlined text field
2. Menu button for month selection
3. Menu button for year selection
4. Help text displayed at the top of the header

I’ve noticed that these features have already been implemented in Flutter’s DatePicker. However, in .NET MAUI, the current Android DatePicker UI does not seem to incorporate these design improvements yet.

We have received significant feedback from Android users indicating that the current year selection mechanism is confusing—they are not aware that they need to click on the year to scroll and change it. This has led to usability concerns and negative user experience.

Is there idea that if there are any plans to update the .NET MAUI Android DatePicker to adopt these latest Material Design features? If so, is there an approximate timeline for when we might expect these improvements?
