        }

Please suggest me what have to do

Answer 1

I know it is too late. But hope this will helps. Use

date .getDatePicker().setMinDate(System.currentTimeMillis() - 1000);

in your case date is DatePickerDialog

Cheers!

Answer 2

I got the solution .hope it will help to someone static final int DATE_DIALOG_ID = 999;

depart.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID);

                }
            });



protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
        final Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();

        switch (id) {
        case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
            // set date picker as current date
            DatePickerDialog _date =   new DatePickerDialog(this, date,myCalendar
                    .get(Calendar.YEAR), myCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH),
                    myCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)){
                @Override
                public void onDateChanged(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth)
                {   
                    if (year < now.get(Calendar.YEAR))

                        view.updateDate(myCalendar
                                .get(Calendar.YEAR), myCalendar
                                .get(Calendar.MONTH), myCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));

                    if (monthOfYear < now.get(Calendar.MONTH) && year == now.get(Calendar.YEAR))
                        view.updateDate(myCalendar
                                .get(Calendar.YEAR), myCalendar
                                .get(Calendar.MONTH), myCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));

                    if (dayOfMonth < now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) && year == now.get(Calendar.YEAR) && 
                            monthOfYear == now.get(Calendar.MONTH))
                        view.updateDate(myCalendar
                                .get(Calendar.YEAR), myCalendar
                                .get(Calendar.MONTH), myCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
                        }
            };
            return _date;
        }
        return null;
    }

See this example..!

Answer 4

// Create a new instance of DatePickerDialog and return it

 DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this,year,month,day);
            datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setMinDate(System.currentTimeMillis());
            return datePickerDialog;

Answer 5

Get the DatePicker used in your DatePickerDialog with the getDatePicker() method and use the setMinDate(Long millis) method.

Pass to it the minimum date (in milliseconds from Epoch) you have to set.

So you can do something like

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date d = sdf.parse("21/12/2012");
DatePicker datePicker = date.getDatePicker();
datePicker.setMinDate(d.getTime());

---

EDIT:

ok, so when your creating your DatePickerDialog, before showing it, just save it to a variable, set the minimum date and then show it.

DatePickerDialog dpd = new DatePickerDialog(IweenFlightSearch.this, date, myCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), myCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), myCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date d = sdf.parse("21/12/2012");
dpd.getDatePicker().setMinDate(d.getTime());
dpd.show();

this should work.
