if you want it identical to the first one you can add 

android:datePickerMode="spinner" 
android:calendarViewShown="false"

This differs as per OS version in devices. It is a system date and time picker.

So it will be as per OS version and may - may not differ in each of the OS version.

Whatever you are seeing is correct and is OS level change.

  • but how to deal with validations with second screen because in my case validations not working for second approch – Dhiraj Feb 03 '16 at 10:55
  • all validations i applied like date should not be less than todays date and time picker user can not select time less than current time for todays date – Dhiraj Feb 03 '16 at 11:15
  • according to me it should work in both cases, in my app its working for all devices with different OS versions @Dhiraj OR show code – Amit Vaghela Feb 03 '16 at 11:17

I think you can force it to look a certain way by changing compilessdkversion and the targetsdkversion accordingly in your gradle file.

edit: on second thought, I'm not 100% sure it'll work...might cause problems on some versions. The 100% positive way to get the classic spinner is like Maxi said to set the attribute datepickermode atribute to spinner. To answer whats been asked of Maxi regarding timePicker. You have to set the timePickerMode attribute to "spinner" in a similar fashion to avoid the round clock interface and get the classic spinner.

<TimePicker
    ...
     android:timePickerMode="spinner" />
