I've already found a post, which it would describe you this problem:

I have found a the explanation in the following post (which describes a problem very similar to mine) :

Android Material Design Inline Datepicker issue

In fact the setCalendarViewShown(false) and setSpinnersShown(true) are apparently not working anymore in latest versions.

We have to use an explicit XML attribute like this one android:datePickerMode="spinner".

The problem is that I'm using a DialogFragment without any XML layout (just a date picker dialog). So I cannot set any XML attribute.

The solution is to create a dedicated custom dialog with an XML layout file using the requested attribute.

If you want to set it programmatically you can you the below code but I haven't checked this code whether its working or not. Let me know if I can help you in any other way.

datepickerDialog_object.getDatePicker().setSpinnersShown(true);
datepickerDialog_object.getDatePicker().setCalendarViewShown(false);

How does your answer differ from the authors' question? – CoolMind Sep 14 '18 at 16:09
He's using direct object that's why he's not able to set setspinnershown parameter. – Anshul Verma Sep 15 '18 at 17:12

it work for me, but only after define style theme inside constructor. ````new DatePickerDialog(view.getContext(),android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Dialog, this, year, month, day);```` – Soy César Mora Aug 26 '20 at 18:25

DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = new DatePickerDialog(SignupPatientStep2.this,
android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Dialog, date, myCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR),
myCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), myCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));

//following line to restrict future date selection
long now = System.currentTimeMillis() - 1000;
datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setMaxDate(now);

//these lines for scrollable calender. but you have to use android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Dialog in your consructor. as @Cesar Alejandro M commented
datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setSpinnersShown(true);
datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setCalendarViewShown(false);

datePickerDialog.show();

This doesn't work for me, Android tells me that `spinnerShown` and `calendarViewShown` are deprecated. — , May 04 '21 at 16:52
