How to set default display in year format in Android Dialog datepicker

Question

I am trying to figure out how to set the default display year of display in Android Dialog DatePicker . In our scenario, the first user must select the year, then the month, and finally the date in the DatePicker dialog box. For this requirement, we need to open a year-wise display when opening a dialogue.

Link to PFB image. Please refer to the image on the right side, which should open by default.

You can use the Calendar and subtract the years you want, for example:

 public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle saveInstanceState) { final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(); c.add(Calendar.YEAR, -18); int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR); int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH); int day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); return new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, month, day); }
