Firstly,you may use DatePicker widget to do that.It has inbuilt methods for setting a range.

But since you're using a DatePickerDialog ,You need have a custom implementation.You need to programmatically change the selected date back to default when an undesired date is selected.

Follow this code:

public class MyDatePickerDialog extends DatePickerDialog{

private Date maxDate;
private Date minDate;

public MyDatePickerDialog(Context context, OnDateSetListener callBack, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
    super(context, callBack, year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);        
    init(year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
}

public MyDatePickerDialog(Context context, int theme, OnDateSetListener callBack, int year, int monthOfYear,    int dayOfMonth) {
    super(context, theme, callBack, year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
    init(year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
}

private void init(int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth){
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

    cal.set(1970, Calendar.JANUARY, 1);
    minDate = cal.getTime();

    cal.set(3000, Calendar.JANUARY, 1);
    maxDate = cal.getTime();

    cal.set(year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth);
}

public void onDateChanged (final DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day){
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.set(year, month, day);
    Date currentDate = cal.getTime();

    final Calendar resetCal = cal; 
    if(!minDate.before(currentDate) ){
        cal.setTime(minDate);
        view.updateDate(resetCal.get(Calendar.YEAR), resetCal.get(Calendar.MONTH), resetCal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));

    }else if(maxDate.before(currentDate)){
        cal.setTime(maxDate);
        view.updateDate(resetCal.get(Calendar.YEAR), resetCal.get(Calendar.MONTH), resetCal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
    }       
}

public void setMaxDate(Date date){
    this.maxDate = date;
}

public void setMinDate(Date date){
    this.minDate = date;
}   }
