Change the style of Android Calendar View

Question

I am using a calendar view inside a dialog fragment .I am getting the one as shown below. I am using the default calendarview provided.

But instead i want to get a calendar view as this one , which is shown by default in xml when i add:

I have tried changing the style to Widget.DeviceDefault.Light.CalendarView , Widget.Material.CalendarView but with same effect.

Mention not @Gaurav. Love to hear from you that it really helped after so much long duration. — Harsh Sharma, Apr 26 '17 at 06:47

At first I didn't understand why CalendarView component looks different in Android Studio and on my phone, but then I found this post https://stackoverflow.com/a/45368436/11052714

So the reason you are seeing this on your phone is because of API level. In the post I mentioned above, however I think wrong API level is mentioned, because I have the old calendar view with Android version 5.0.2 aka API level 21. It means that still in API level 21 old Calendar View visual look is used.
