                public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int min) {
                    hour = hourOfDay;
                    minute = min;

                    business_time_et.setText(hour+":"+minute);
                  }
            };


            protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
                switch (id) {
                case DATE_DIALOG_ID:

                    DatePickerDialog da = new DatePickerDialog(this, mDateSetListener,
                            mYear, mMonth, mDay);
                    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();

                    c.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);
                    Date newDate = c.getTime();
                    da.getDatePicker().setMinDate(newDate.getTime());
                    return da;

                case TIME_DIALOG_ID:
                    return new TimePickerDialog(this,
                            mTimeSetListener, mHour, mMinute, false);

                }
                return null;
            }

Solution 1

You can also try this:

da.getDatePicker().setMinDate(newDate.getTime()-(newDate.getTime()%(24*60*60*1000)));

It basically subtracts the current date by the current offset of the day.

Solution 2

Here is a sample code:

DatePicker datePicker = (DatePicker) getView().findViewById(R.id.your_datepicker_id);   

final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, c.getMinimum(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY));
c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, c.getMinimum(Calendar.MINUTE));
c.set(Calendar.SECOND, c.getMinimum(Calendar.SECOND));
c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, c.getMinimum(Calendar.MILLISECOND));

Time now = new Time();
now.setToNow();

datePicker.updateDate(now.year, now.month, now.monthDay);
datePicker.setMinDate(c.getTimeInMillis());

Please note above that you must set MinDate value to the minimum time of the current day and not just the time which is 1 or 2 seconds behind the current time. This takes care of a well know problem of Datepicker in Android.

Solution 3

Use setMinDate method (minimum API 11):

datePicker.setMinDate(System.currentTimeMillis() - 1000);
