Android DatePickerDialog: Set min and max date for selection -

i know there quite lot of question none of solutions working me, question. want restrict user select date before today, not able so.

public class datepickerdialogfragment extends dialogfragment {      private ondatesetlistener listener;      public void setlistener(ondatesetlistener listener) {         this.listener = listener;     }      @nonnull     @override     public dialog oncreatedialog(bundle savedinstancestate) {         calendar calendar = calendar.getinstance();         int year    = calendar.get(calendar.year);         int month   = calendar.get(calendar.month);         int day     = calendar.get(calendar.day_of_month);          datepickerdialog dialog = new datepickerdialog(getcontext(), listener, year, month, day);         dialog.getdatepicker().setmindate(calendar.gettimeinmillis());         return dialog;     } } 

i showing as:

datepickerdialogfragment fragment = new datepickerdialogfragment(); fragment.setlistener(datesetlistener); fragment.show(getsupportfragmentmanager(), "choose booking date"); 

i want user should not able select date before today. can see called setmindate() method today's time no effect. dialog shows dates before today grayed selectable.

i tried sub-class datepickerdialog , override ondatechanged suggested in stackoverflow answers without success.

try method

@nonnull @override public dialog oncreatedialog(bundle savedinstancestate) {     calendar calendar = calendar.getinstance();     int year    = calendar.get(calendar.year);     int month   = calendar.get(calendar.month);     int day     = calendar.get(calendar.day_of_month);      datepickerdialog dialog = new datepickerdialog(getcontext(), listener, year, month, day);     field mdatepickerfield;     try {             mdatepickerfield = dialog.getclass().getdeclaredfield("mdatepicker");             mdatepickerfield.setaccessible(true);     } catch (exception e) {             e.printstacktrace();     }     dialog.getdatepicker().setmindate(system.currenttimemillis() - 1000);     return dialog; } 

instead of your

@nonnull @override public dialog oncreatedialog(bundle savedinstancestate) {     calendar calendar = calendar.getinstance();     int year    = calendar.get(calendar.year);     int month   = calendar.get(calendar.month);     int day     = calendar.get(calendar.day_of_month);      datepickerdialog dialog = new datepickerdialog(getcontext(), listener, year, month, day);     dialog.getdatepicker().setmindate(calendar.gettimeinmillis());     return dialog; } 

edit1:

i have faced issue user can select not-selectable dates in android l 5.0.2. there bug reported here. solved in android l 5.1.0.

for temporary solution of issue can compare selected date current system date , put condition based on that. used workaround

edit2:

add ondatesent() method in datepickerdialogfragment , check if it's earlier date set in setmindate(). if so, show datepickerdialog again.

final long today = system.currenttimemillis() - 1000;  @override public void ondateset(datepicker view, int year, int monthofyear, int dayofmonth) {             calendar calendar = calendar.getinstance();             calendar.set(year, monthofyear, dayofmonth);             //if user tries select date in past (or today)             if (calendar.gettimeinmillis() < today)             {                 //make them try again                datepickerdialogfragment fragment = new datepickerdialogfragment();                fragment.setlistener(datesetlistener);                fragment.show(getsupportfragmentmanager(), "choose booking date");                toast.maketext(this, "invalid date, please try again", toast.length_long).show();             }             else             {                 //success             } }
