Flutter: How to enable only certain dates in DatePicker

Question

I have an array with certain dates.

I want to disable these dates in the date picker and also change the color. How to do this?

You can use selectableDayPredicate property. For colors, you can change it by themes.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  DateTime selectedDate = DateTime(2020, 1, 14);

  // DatePicker will call this function on every day and expect
  // a bool output. If it's true, it will draw that day as "enabled"
  // and that day will be selectable and vice versa.
  bool _predicate(DateTime day) {
    if ((day.isAfter(DateTime(2020, 1, 5)) &&
        day.isBefore(DateTime(2020, 1, 9)))) {
      return true;
    }

    if ((day.isAfter(DateTime(2020, 1, 10)) &&
        day.isBefore(DateTime(2020, 1, 15)))) {
      return true;
    }
    if ((day.isAfter(DateTime(2020, 2, 5)) &&
        day.isBefore(DateTime(2020, 2, 17)))) {
      return true;
    }

    return false;
  }

  Future<void> _selectDate(BuildContext context) async {
    final DateTime picked = await showDatePicker(
        context: context,
        initialDate: selectedDate,
        selectableDayPredicate: _predicate,
        firstDate: DateTime(2019),
        lastDate: DateTime(2021),
        builder: (context, child) {
          return Theme(
            data: ThemeData(
                primaryColor: Colors.orangeAccent,
                disabledColor: Colors.brown,
                textTheme:
                    TextTheme(body1: TextStyle(color: Colors.blueAccent)),
                accentColor: Colors.yellow),
            child: child,
          );
        });
    if (picked != null && picked != selectedDate)
      setState(() {
        selectedDate = picked;
      });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(),
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
          children: <Widget>[
            Text("${selectedDate.toLocal()}".split(' ')[0]),
            SizedBox(
              height: 20.0,
            ),
            RaisedButton(
              onPressed: () => _selectDate(context),
              child: Text('Select date'),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}
