I used this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/31610267/5700434 to completely solve the problem.

Mainly use this :

DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(),android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light_Dialog_MinWidth, this, year, month, day);
        dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));

Full code :

import android.app.DatePickerDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.drawable.ColorDrawable;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment;
import android.widget.DatePicker;

import java.util.Calendar;


public class DatePickerFragment extends DialogFragment
        implements DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener {

    private Calendar calendar;
    private Calendar maxCalendar;
    private Calendar minCalendar;
    private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener onDateSetListener;

    private static final String TAG = DatePickerFragment.class.getSimpleName();

    public void setup(Calendar calendar, DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener onDateSetListener){
        this.calendar = calendar;
        this.onDateSetListener = onDateSetListener;
    }

    public void setup(Calendar calendar, Calendar maxCalendar, DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener onDateSetListener){
        this.calendar = calendar;
        this.maxCalendar = maxCalendar;
        this.onDateSetListener = onDateSetListener;
    }

    public void setup(Calendar calendar, Calendar maxCalendar, Calendar minCalendar){
        this.calendar = calendar;
        this.maxCalendar = maxCalendar;
        this.minCalendar = minCalendar;
    }

    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
        int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
        int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

        DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(),android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light_Dialog_MinWidth, this, year, month, day);
        dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));

        if(minCalendar!=null){
            dialog.getDatePicker().setMinDate(minCalendar.getTimeInMillis());
        }

        if(maxCalendar != null){
            dialog.getDatePicker().setMaxDate(maxCalendar.getTimeInMillis());
        }

        return dialog;
    }

    public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) {
        if(onDateSetListener != null){
            onDateSetListener.onDateSet(view, year, month, day);
        }else{
            LogUtils.w(TAG, "onDateSetListener callback is not initialized.");
        }
    }
}

DatePickerDialog dialog = new
DatePickerDialog(getActivity(),AlertDialog.THEME_HOLO_LIGHT, this, year, month, day);

This worked perfectly in all the version of android. from 4.4 to 6.0 tested although it is deprecated but it supported very well.

Use the DatePicker instead of the Calendar View, and add the following xml attributes:

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

Giving the following result:
