Answer 1

This DatePicker custom class Allow us Specify Max and Min Date

public class DatePickerDialogWithMaxMinRange extends DatePickerDialog {

 static int maxYear=2005; 
 static int maxMonth=11;
 static int maxDay=31;

 int minYear=1955;
 int minMonth=0;
 int minDay=1;


public DatePickerDialogWithMaxMinRange(Context context,  OnDateSetListener callBack,int minYear,int minMonth,int minDay,int maxYear,int maxMonth,int maxDay) {
    super(context,callBack, maxYear, maxMonth, maxDay);
    this.minDay = minDay;
    this.minMonth = minMonth;
    this.minYear = minYear;
    DatePickerDialogWithMaxMinRange.maxDay = maxDay;
    DatePickerDialogWithMaxMinRange.maxMonth = maxMonth;
    DatePickerDialogWithMaxMinRange.maxYear = maxYear;
}

@Override
public void onDateChanged(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
    super.onDateChanged(view, year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);

        if (year > maxYear ||monthOfYear > maxMonth && year == maxYear||
                 dayOfMonth > maxDay && year == maxYear && monthOfYear == maxMonth){
            view.updateDate(maxYear, maxMonth, maxDay);
            }else if(year < minYear ||monthOfYear < minMonth && year == minYear||
                 dayOfMonth < minDay && year == minYear && monthOfYear == minMonth){
             view.updateDate(minYear, minMonth, minDay );
            }
}

}

// use this code in your Activity class or Fragment specify member as

private int intCurrentYear;
private int intCurrentMonth;
private int intCurrentDay;
private int intMaxYear;
private int intMaxMonth;
private int intMaxDay;
private int intMinYear;
private int intMinDay;
private int intMinMonth;

    DatePickerDialogWithMaxMinRange datePickerDialog= null;
DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener datePickerOnDateSetListener;
Calendar myCalendar;

// call this method in onCreate or where ever u want to..

note: you need pass the listener custom datepickerdialog to update the date after select in datepicker dialog

public void setDate() {
    /*
     * Initialise Listener for date set
     */

    datePickerOnDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
        public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
                int dayOfMonth) {
            edtTxtPlayerBirthDay.setText(new StringBuilder().append(year)
                    .append("-").append(monthOfYear + 1).append("-")
                    .append(dayOfMonth));
        }
    };

    // initialise DatePicker 

    myCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();

    intCurrentYear = myCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    intCurrentMonth = myCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    intCurrentDay = myCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

    intMaxYear =  intCurrentYear - 2000;
    intMaxMonth = intCurrentMonth;
    intMaxDay =  intCurrentDay;

    intMinYear =  intCurrentYear - 1950;
    intMinMonth = intCurrentMonth;
    intMinDay =  intCurrentDay; 

    datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialogWithMaxMinRange(
            context, datePickerOnDateSetListener,intMinYear,intMinMonth,intMinDay,intMaxYear,intMaxMonth,intMaxDay);
}

when creating date picker pass the mindate and maxdate as per u r requirement for showing datepicker when button clicked or any other control put this code inside for that onclicklistener...

datePickerDialog.show();
