The DatePicker widget in Android has a range of possible values for each field (day, month, year). The minimum value can be set using the “android:startYear” attribute, the maximum value with “android:endYear”.
But is the range of possible values device-specific? I mean, can you set the minimum value for the year to “0000” or are there any devices that don’t support this value for a DatePicker’s year field?
If one does a bit “research” in the Android source, it becomes obvious that the default values for “startYear” and “endYear” are “1900” and “2100”. These values can be overwritten with any integer value.
