Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent">
   <DatePicker
      android:id="@+id/datePicker"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      DatePicker datePicker = findViewById(R.id.datePicker);
      datePicker.setOnDateChangedListener(new DatePicker.OnDateChangedListener() {
         @Override
         public void onDateChanged(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) {
            Toast.makeText(app.com.sample.MainActivity.this," You are changed date is : "+dayOfMonth +" - "+monthOfYear+ " - "+year,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
         }
      });
