I've already found a post, which it would describe you this problem:

I have found a the explanation in the following post (which describes a problem very similar to mine) :

Android Material Design Inline Datepicker issue

In fact the setCalendarViewShown(false) and setSpinnersShown(true) are apparently not working anymore in latest versions.

We have to use an explicit XML attribute like this one android:datePickerMode="spinner".

The problem is that I'm using a DialogFragment without any XML layout (just a date picker dialog). So I cannot set any XML attribute.

The solution is to create a dedicated custom dialog with an XML layout file using the requested attribute.

If you want to set it programmatically you can you the below code but I haven't checked this code whether its working or not. Let me know if I can help you in any other way.

datepickerDialog_object.getDatePicker().setSpinnersShown(true);
datepickerDialog_object.getDatePicker().setCalendarViewShown(false);
