To resolve bug for Android Lollipop you can validate date as below:

    int mYear,mMonth,mDay;
    Calendar mcurrentDate = Calendar.getInstance();
    mYear = mcurrentDate.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    mMonth = mcurrentDate.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    mDay = mcurrentDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);


    DatePickerDialog mDatePicker = new DatePickerDialog(context, new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
        public void onDateSet(DatePicker datepicker, int selectedyear, int selectedmonth, int selectedday) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        // validate here with condition to avoid to select past dates 
            if (selectedyear == mYear && (selectedmonth+1) == mMonth+1) {
                if(selectedday < mDay){
                    Toast.makeText(context, "invalid date", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    return;
                }
            }


                textview.setText(selectedday + "/" + (selectedmonth+1) + "/" + selectedyear);

        }
    }, mYear, mMonth, mDay);

    mDatePicker.getDatePicker().setMinDate(System.currentTimeMillis() - 1000);
    if(!mDatePicker.isShowing()){
        mDatePicker.show();
    }
