How to disable specific dates in calendar

AFAIK No You can't disable specific dates in calendar because that is That is not a built in behavior

for that purpose you have to use third party library or your have to create your own

you would have to use a custom date picker.

Answer 2

For enabling specified dates in a calendar, you can use this library.

Here if you will see the DatePickerFragment in the sample. We are passing an array of calendar dates like this.

               Calendar[] days = new Calendar[13];
                for (int i = -6; i < 7; i++) {
                    Calendar day = Calendar.getInstance();
                    day.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, i * 2);
                    days[i + 6] = day;
                }
               dpd.setSelectableDays(days);

We can create the array of calendar dates in specified format and pass that calendar dates array to the date picker dialog to enable it.

You can achieve your goal in similar way.

                        date = sdf.parse(a);

                        calendar = obj.dateToCalendar(date);
                        System.out.println(calendar.getTime());

                    List<Calendar> dates = new ArrayList<>();
                    dates.add(calendar);
                    Calendar[] disabledDays1 = dates.toArray(new Calendar[dates.size()]);
                    dpd.setDisabledDays(disabledDays1);

private Calendar dateToCalendar(Date date) {
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        calendar.setTime(date);
        return calendar;
