Question

I'm working on an app in which i'm using a custom date and time picker. I've created a dialog box and inside that i'm showing date and time picker respectively now I want to set a minimum and maximum limit for the date picker. Such as one should not be able to select the previous date from today and not more than a month ahead. This is my code

  AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
            final DatePicker picker = new DatePicker(getActivity());
            try {
                Field f[] = picker.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
                for (Field field : f) {
                    if (field.getName().equals("mYearPicker") || field.getName().equals("mYearSpinner")) {
                        field.setAccessible(true);
                        Object yearPicker = new Object();
                        yearPicker = field.get(picker);
                        ((View) yearPicker).setVisibility(View.GONE);
                    }
                }
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
            picker.setCalendarViewShown(false);
            picker.setMinDate(new  Date().getTime());

            builder.setTitle("Please select date on which you would be leaving :")
                    .setView(picker)
                    .setPositiveButton("OK",
                            new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
                                    SimpleDateFormat parseFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE dd MMM");
                                    Date date1 = new Date();
                                    date1.setDate(picker.getDayOfMonth());
                                    date1.setMonth(picker.getMonth());
                                    final String s = parseFormat.format(date1);
                                    Log.e("DATE", s);
                                    SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");
                                    Date date2=new Date();
                                    date2.setDate(picker.getDayOfMonth());
                                    date2.setMonth(picker.getMonth());
                                    final String s2=sdf.format(date2);

Try this, This shows from today to next 5 year date in datepicker dialog.

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    TextView txtDatePicker;
    Calendar cal,cal1;
    long maxDate;
    Date date;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal1 = Calendar.getInstance();

        txtDatePicker = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtDatePicker);
        txtDatePicker.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(MainActivity.this, new OnDateSetListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onDateSet(DatePicker arg0, int arg1, int arg2, int arg3) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, ""+arg1+"/"+(arg2+1)+"/"+arg3, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
            }, cal.get(Calendar.YEAR), cal.get(Calendar.MONTH), cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
            dialog.getDatePicker().setMinDate(System.currentTimeMillis());
            cal1.add(Calendar.YEAR, 5);
            dialog.getDatePicker().setMaxDate(cal1.getTimeInMillis());
            dialog.show();
        }
    });
  }
}
