SetMinDate () for DatePicker not working

Question

DatePicker datepicker = (DatePicker) view.findViewById(R.id.ad_date_picker); datepicker.setMinDate(Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis()); 

It just doesn't work. It works only in xml ( android:minDate="mm/dd/yyyy" ), but I need to set the minimum date dynamically for the current day. My minimum API is 11.

PS: The solution used to work before this, but may be outdated now.

Try something like this. If I understand correctly, you want to set the minimum counter date to date. It works for me without any errors:

  Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.set(cal.get(Calendar.YEAR), cal.get(Calendar.MONTH), cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH), 0, 0, 0); long time = cal.getTimeInMillis(); DatePicker datepicker = (DatePicker) findViewById(R.id.datePicker); datepicker.setMinDate(time); 

In your xml, I assume you have something like this:

 <DatePicker android:id="@+id/datePicker" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
