if(get_confrimpass.replaceAll("\\s", "").equals(current_pass_check))
            {           }

You can try logging them in using there current username and the password that they have given to you. If the loggin is successful the old password is correct. I.e

ParseUser.logInInBackground(ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getUsername(), currentPassword, new LogInCallback() {  
    public void done(ParseUser user, ParseException e) {    
        if (user != null) {      
             // Hooray! The password is correct 
        } else {      
             // The password was incorrect 
        }  
   }
});

In the example above the 'currentPassword' variable is the text that you would retreive from the 'Old Password' EditText
