How to allow the user to choose date only before 10 years from today from datepicker in android?

Question

I am stuck at point where I need to ask for birthdate from user as input. I need to put restriction that user should not be able to add any date before 10 year).

Answer 1

I think you mean users can't add any date earlier than 10 year before right? Or your users are mostly kids aged 10 to 0?!

Since your limit date is based on current date, you have to set limit programmatically using setMinDate(long date) and setMaxDate(long date). As you can see those method works with date in millisecond so you have to get dare in millis first:

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.add(Calendar.YEAR, -10);                //Goes 10 Year Back in time ^^
long upperLimit = calendar.getTimeInMillis();    //Get date in millisecond (epoch)

, and then set the limit using above method:

datePicker.setMaxDate(upperLimit);
