How to Angular Material datepicker leave/keep opened - angularjs

Question

I've tried with md-blur md-focus, each fails. I'm using Angular Material 1.1.3 and i need to keep datepicker opened after date picked action. So, how to keep it opened, after this action. Anybody can help?

Due to the md-datepicker documentation you can't achieve this. ngMaterials is good but comes with a lot of limitations. You can 'fake' this by using md-calendar like in this runnable demo codepen.
View
<div ng-app="MyApp" ng-controller="MyController" layout-padding>
{{ date }}<br />
<input type="date" ng-model="date" ng-click="openDatePicker()" ng-show="!datePickerOpened">
<md-calendar class="fixed-calendar" ng-show="datePickerOpened" ng-model="date"></md-calendar>
</div>
CSS
.fixed-calendar {
width: 340px;
height: 340px;
display: block;
}
.fixed-calendar .md-calendar-scroll-mask {
width: 340px !important;
}
.fixed-calendar .md-virtual-repeat-scroller {
width: 340px !important;
height: 308px;
}
Application
angular
.module('MyApp', ['ngMaterial'])
.controller('MyController', function($scope, $timeout) {
//Init
$scope.datePickerOpened = false;
$scope.date = new Date();
//show datepicker action
$scope.openDatePicker = function () {
//show datepicker
$scope.datePickerOpened = true
//avoid date set to 1933 by async reinit date after ng-show rendering
$timeout(function () {
$scope.date = new Date();
});
}
});
