The solution has been posted here

You have to use both android:calendarViewShown="false" and android:datePickerMode="spinner".

This solves it.

<DatePicker xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/dialog_date_datePicker"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:calendarViewShown="false"
    android:datePickerMode="spinner" >
</DatePicker>
