Android Studio - Datepicker not showing calendar from current year

Question

in my Android Project i have a DatePicker which directly starts from year 1900.

Here is the source code:-

private void selectDate()
{
    dpd = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(),
            new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener()
            {
                @Override
                public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth)
                {
                    c.set(year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
                    selDate=year+"/"+monthOfYear+"/"+dayOfMonth;
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), dayOfMonth + "-" + (monthOfYear + 1) + "-" + year, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }, mYear, mMonth, mDay);
    dpd.show();
}

Here is a screenshot of the same:-

As you can see the calendar starts from 1900 but i want it to start from the current date

Also, you can see '2' written on the top left corner, on clicking '2' i can change the year to whatever i want to; but I don't want the '2' symbol in my Date Picker/ how i should i change the name '2' to 'Change year' text?

What should be done? Where do i need to incorporate the necessary changes?

Thanks in advance.

I have edited my code as follows and now i am getting the current date i.e oct 2016

private void selectDate()
{
    dpd = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(),
            new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener()
            {
                @Override
                public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth)
                {
                    c.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
                    c.set(Calendar.MONTH, monthOfYear);
                    c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayOfMonth);
                    selDate=year+"/"+monthOfYear+"/"+dayOfMonth;
                    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), dayOfMonth + "-" + (monthOfYear + 1) + "-" + year, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }, mYear, mMonth, mDay);
    dpd.getDatePicker().setMinDate(System.currentTimeMillis());
    dpd.show();
}

And here is the updated screenshot:

Answer 1

Try this :

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();

c.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());

Answer 2

You need to pass the current date as an argument when invoking the DatePickerDialog

 // Use the current date as the default date in the picker
    final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    int mYear = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    int mMonth = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    int mDay = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

As per your code, I don't see where you've assigned the values for mYear, mMonth and mDate.

Answer 3

I hope this piece of snippet works for u..

String strThatDay = datePicker.getYear() + "/" + (datePicker.getMonth() + 1) + "/" + datePicker.getDayOfMonth();
            SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
            Date choosenDate = null;
            try {
                choosenDate = formatter.parse(strThatDay);//catch exception
            } catch (ParseException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            final Calendar todayCal = Calendar.getInstance();
            todayCal.setTime(choosenDate);

Answer 4

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

DatePickerDialog dialog =
    new DatePickerDialog(this, mDateSetListener, mYear, mMonth, mDay);
dialog.show();

you can initialize your picker this way. Check this on
