is there any datepicker in Android, which I can use for selecting dates BC and AD ?
or do I have to create my own one ?
By default datepicker in Android only goes to 1970.
You can somewhat manipulate the date though.
For help with creating a custom datepicker, you can try here.

While selecting Date , I want the previous dates to be disabled.

You would have to use a custom TimePickerDialog in this case, same goes to the date as well if you would need that functionality too.
See this post - Custom TimePickerDialog or use this library - MaterialDateTimePicker with material design.
hello guys I am developing an application and I need to display a date picker. This date picker needs to display only the year. Does any one know how to limit the date picker to show only years.
kind regards
and thanks
You can set its bounds using:
setMinDate(long minDate)
setMaxDate(long maxDate)
You can create your custom date picker using Spinner(populated with year you want) in Dialog box. How to make an alert dialog with a spinner
I am developing a perpetual calendar application in android. I need to manually set the position of dates in calendar view of the datepicker upon user's selection of year and month values.
Currently, if I use a datepicker, it shows me with the system's date and months.
How can I customize it for above requirement.
If there is any way of doing it, please suggest, otherwise I am thinking of adding 31 labels for displaying the each date of the month, which I guess is not an appropriate method.
use can set the particular date on Datepicker by using DatePicker.setMonth and
DatePicker.setYear methods.
I made a custom DatePicker that extends the android DatePicker UI component. I needed this to make possible the visibility option for each DatePicker's view component(day,month and year).
I made this possible by hiding the views from DatePicker by its index.
I get the index of each component by getting the date format order like this DateFormat.getDateFormatOrder(context) , this returns a char array like {m, d, y} so I can get the order of the DatePicker components and hide them..
The problem I run into is that on some devices the DatePicker position its components by the selected locale of the user and not by the selected date format.
How can I get the DatePicker's components order? Or how I can figure out that DatePicker will position its components by locale or date format?
Note that I am developing this on Android API level 2.1++ and I would prefer not to make my own DatePicker so I can preserve the android DialogPicker UI theme.
Thank you!
And unfortunately the answer is: I had to develop my own DatePicker and now everything works fine
Following the Android SDK tutorials I have implemented my first basic date picker dialog. It works fine but is there any way to change the format of the date shown?
Example:
The date picker dialog displays the date as "17 Oct 2010". I would it like to be displayed as "17 10 2010".
Greetings,

I think you have to extend the DatePicker class with your own, and modify it as you like. Afaik there are no attributes that you could use to easily modify this.
