You can get the underlying DatePicker from a DatePickerDialog (by simply calling getDatePicker()) and set its bounds using:

• setMinDate(long minDate)
• setMaxDate(long maxDate)

Where the argument is the usual number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 in the default time zone. You'll still have to calculate these values of course, but that should be trivial to do with the Calendar class: just pass current date and add or substract x years from that..
