Answer 1

you must have changed mYear, mMonth, mDay values. months are 0-11. make sure your values are in the range

Answer 2

Do you know that month field is zero based - starts from zero? Make sure that value for month does not exceed 11! I was getting exactly the same message and since I used 12 for a month, that was the reason to get this exception.

Answer 3

As indicated by the error you see in the logs, one of your mYear, mMonth or mDay values is invalid.

Answer 4

an idea to set the month field value to X is to set it to X % 12 (modulo), so then you are sure that you will not exceed the autorized value. Same for hours and minutes. Cheers. Charles.
