Question

I tried a lot,but all doesn\'t work.

I need my date picker the date starts with september 1 2014.But it starts 1900. I set minimum date concept it disappears all past da

Answer 1

You can set by this code:

Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance(Locale.ENGLISH);
datePickerDialog .init(cal.getTime().getYear()+1900, cal.getTime().getMonth(), cal.getTime().getDay(), this);

EDIT

To set Minimum date to your DatePicker you can set it by using :

datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setMinDate(System.currentTimeMillis() - 1000);

which sets today's date as minimum date and all the past dates are disabled.

Note: setMinDate was introduced in API 11

EDIT #2

You need to create custom DatePickerDialog for that :

class DatePickerDialog1964 extends DatePickerDialog {
    DatePickerDialog1964(Context c) {
    super(c, null, 2014, 1, 1);

    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    Date min = new Date(2014-1900, 1, 1);

    DatePicker p = getDatePicker();
    CalendarView cv = p.getCalendarView(); // should check for null
    long cur = cv.getDate();
    int d = cv.getFirstDayOfWeek();
    p.setMinDate(min.getTime());
    cv.setDate(cur + 1000L*60*60*24*40);
    cv.setFirstDayOfWeek((d + 1) % 7);
    cv.setDate(cur);
    cv.setFirstDayOfWeek(d);
  }
}

To use this :

new DatePickerDialog1964(context).show();
