How to allow user to select date only up to 10 years from today from datepicker in Android?

I think you mean that users cannot add a date earlier than 10 years before? Or are your users mostly children between the ages of 10 and 0?

Since your date limit is based on the current date, you need to set the limit programmatically with setMinDate(long date)

and setMaxDate(long date)

. As you can see, this method works with the date in milliseconds, so you need to laugh in milliseconds first:

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.add(Calendar.YEAR, -10);                //Goes 10 Year Back in time ^^
long upperLimit = calendar.getTimeInMillis();    //Get date in millisecond (epoch)


and then set the limit using the method above:

datePicker.setMaxDate(upperLimit);

You can do it:

DatePicker datePicker = (DatePicker) findViewById(R.id.event_date);
datePicker.setMinDate(dateTenYearsAgo);

try this code in datePicker dialog:

    Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
    c.add(Calendar.YEAR, -10);
    long tenYearBack = c.getTimeInMillis();
    datePickerDialog.getDatePicker().setMinDate(tenYearBack);
