            }

            SimpleDateFormat sdfDateTime = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd", Locale.US);
            String dateStr = sdfDateTime.format(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));

            String[] dateSplit = dateStr.split("-");
            int currentYear = Integer.parseInt(dateSplit[0]);
            int currentMonth = Integer.parseInt(dateSplit[1]);
            int currentDay = Integer.parseInt(dateSplit[2]);

            // to show date and day of week in the TextView
            setHumanReadableDate(currentYear, currentMonth, currentDay);

            // initialize date picker listener
            // currentMonth - 1, because on the picker, 0 is January
            datePickerBirthday.init(currentYear, currentMonth - 1, currentDay, birthdayListener);


    }
     // the date picker listener
   OnDateChangedListener birthdayListener = new OnDateChangedListener() {

       @Override
       public void onDateChanged(DatePicker birthDayDatePicker,
               int newYear, int newMonth, int newDay) {

           try{

               // currentMonth + 1, to retrieve proper month
               setHumanReadableDate(newYear, newMonth + 1, newDay);

           } catch (NullPointerException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
           } catch (Exception e) {

   // show the user a better date format
   public void setHumanReadableDate(int newYear, int newMonth, int newDay){
       try {

           String clickedDate = newYear + "-" + newMonth + "-" + newDay;
           SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
           Date d = null;

Above API 11 For min date you can use

android:minDate="mm/dd/yyyy"
or setMinDate(long time)

For Max date

android:maxDate="mm/dd/yyyy" // In XML
setMaxDate(new Date().getTime());// Current time

if you are using API level above 11 then use setMaxDate of DatePicker to set mex date. otherwise create a custom DatePicker and override onDateSet method, and apply your validation here like below

@Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
        int dayOfMonth) {
    Log.i(TAG, "onDateSet :which:");
    Calendar cl = Calendar.getInstance();
    cl.set(year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
    if(cl.before(Calendar.getInstance())){
        this.mListener.onDateSet(view, year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
    }else {
        Toast.makeText(mContext, "Please select any date before this.",    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        return;
    }

}
