How to enable dates only between current date and previous 7 days on DatePickerDialog?

Question

Following pic is a web date picker. There, only between current date and previous 7 days are able to be selected.

I've to do this at Android using DatePickerDialog. I implemented DatePickerDialog on my EditText's OnClickListener as an example here. The question is how to make user could not select out of that range? Any idea?

You can set minimum and maximum date.

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, -7);
Date result = cal.getTime();
mDatePicker.setMaxDate(System.currentTimeMillis());
mDatePicker.setMinDate(result.getTime());

Please accept as correct, if it was really helpful :) – Shoeb Siddique Mar 08 '16 at 07:18
second line didn't work dude, it should be mDatePicker.setMinDate(newCalendar.get(cal.MILLISECOND)); – Zin Win Htet Mar 08 '16 at 11:00
But you wanna set minimum date 7 days ago? – Shoeb Siddique Mar 08 '16 at 11:06
yap, result.getTime() is not a correct parameter type. Both setMaxDate and setMinDate methods' parameter should be milliseconds. That's why I juz convert you "cal" to millisecond. :) – Zin Win Htet Mar 08 '16 at 11:19
Okay, You can go through that way too. :) – Shoeb Siddique Mar 08 '16 at 11:20
