Android DatePickerDialog weird TextView

I've discovered something strange:
Let's take a look at the normal DatePickerDialog:

Without

When I add this line which sets the maximum date on yesterday:

datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setMaxDate(yesterdayCal.getTime().getTime());

It looks like this:

with

You see the difference? It adds a TextView above the DatePicker. I don't know why. It looks weird and always shows the same date as selected. I want to remove it? Some ideas?

Full code:

DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(this, R.style.DialogTheme, new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {

                        Calendar pickedCal = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.getDefault());
                        pickedCal.set(year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
                        setToMidnight(pickedCal);

                        SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE dd.MM.yyyy", Locale.getDefault());
                        String pickedDate = dateFormat.format(pickedCal.getTime());
                        MyToast.showLong(LiveSelectActivity.this, getString(R.string.hinweis_nachtragen_gueltig, pickedDate));
                        startNachtragen(pickedCal.getTime());

                    }
                }, currentCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), currentCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), currentCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));

                /*Setzt das maximale Auswahldatum auf gestern.*/
                Calendar yesterdayCal = (Calendar) currentCalendar.clone();
                yesterdayCal.add(Calendar.DATE, -1);
                datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setMaxDate(yesterdayCal.getTime().getTime());

                datePickerDialog.show();

            }
Solution

  • For some reason setting the max date through this line sets the title of the DatePickerDialog

    datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setMaxDate(yesterdayCal.getTime().getTime());

    In order to remove the title, use setTitle("")

    datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setMaxDate(yesterdayCal.getTime().getTime());
datePickerDialog.setTitle("");
datePickerDialog.show();
