    setmindate method simple – Illegal Argument Jun 21 '14 at 07:16
  • @IllegalArgument I am a novice, too. Can you please tell me why people [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17878751/how-to-disable-dates-before-today-date-in-datepickerdialog-android) are using such a long way to disable previous date when a method is available? :/ – An SO User Jun 21 '14 at 07:22
  • the answer is simple mindate() expects unix timestamp. But the Calendar api provides you with current day time and year. so you need to convert the from calendar date to unixtimestamp for setting mindate in the picker itself. I did that too. – Illegal Argument Jun 21 '14 at 07:24
