Show DatePicker with other calendar system

I have a Datepicker in a custom Dialog which shows the date and the user can select the date and I get the user selected date. Now I want to go further by showing other calendar

for e.g. Persian calendar date instead of the Gregorian calender date. Now in my app when the user selects the date from the datepicker I can return the Persian date in the log. but I don't know how to change the DatePicker to show perisan date.please help.

 @Override
 public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
 {
    menu.add("Add Detail").setIcon(R.drawable.ic_compose).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT);
    return true;
 }

 @Override
 public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
 {
    final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom);

    final EditText amount = (EditText) dialog.findViewById(R.id.amtEditText);
    final DatePicker datePicker = (DatePicker) dialog.findViewById(R.id.datePicker1);
    Button cancelButton = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.canelButton);
    Button OKButton = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.OKbutton);

    OKButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
    {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) 
        {
            Log.d("---------------", datePicker.getDayOfMonth() +" " 
                                   + datePicker.getMonth() + " " 
                                   + datePicker.getYear() + " " 
                                   + amount.getText());

            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Got click: "
                                 + datePicker.getDayOfMonth() + " " 
                                 + datePicker.getMonth() + " " 
                                 + datePicker.getYear(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            CivilDate civil = new CivilDate(datePicker.getYear(), datePicker.getMonth(), datePicker.getDayOfMonth());
            PersianDate perDate = DateConverter.civilToPersian(civil);

            Log.d("-------", perDate.getDayOfMonth()+ " " + (perDate.getMonth() + 1) + " " + perDate.getYear() + " " + perDate.getMonthName());
            datePicker.init(perDate.getYear(), (perDate.getMonth() + 1), perDate.getDayOfMonth(), null);
        }
    });

There is library for that. You can get more information in the library's github page.

Instead of using the DatePicker switch to using the Android Wheel library. It's written by a Google Developer and it can be styled to look like the Android DatePicker it also provides consistent look and feel on older phones.

It's not restricted by what you can put in the fields either which means you can use anything you want.

Not really portable way is to use reflection to reach into DatePicker, get spinners and explicitly set spinners' contents to what you need.

Here's the code I wrote to replace times in TimePicker with Japanese Traditional Time using reflection: https://github.com/aragaer/jtt_android/blob/0855eb7ae1b3de897640bf560cc3bda700cbc2e2/src/com/aragaer/jtt/JttPickerDialog.java One of two methods fixOld and fixNew is called depending on API version. Changes in API might cause either fixNew to fail on even newer versions, that's why it's not really good way.

Better way might be to simple copy the code and layout of DatePicker and create your own custom view from it.
