Answer 1

i'm thinking you are using datepicker dialog.if thats right then in

OnDateSetListener dateSetListener = new OnDateSetListener() {
            @Override
            public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year,
                    int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
                try {
                    Date selectedDate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd").parse(year+"/"+monthOfYear+"/"+dayOfMonth);
Date currDate = new Date();
if(selectedDate.compareTo(currDate ) >=0 ){
//then do your work
}else{
//show message
}

}catch(Exception e){
  e.getMessage();

}

You can achieve this using OnDateSetListener like folowing

private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener =
    new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, 
        int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
    //here we get the selected date, so we can compare the date with current date 
            //and perform required operation

}
