Check user is greater than 18 years from todays date with date picker android

I am trying to check that my user should be 18 years old. If Not then show a toast. (Trying to get from exact today date). But result is getting success only year wise.

Output - Years are getting calculated. Expected - From today's date, user should be 18 years old.

this is what i have tried.

    val calendar = Calendar.getInstance()
    val year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR)
    val month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH)
    val day = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)
    val dpd = DatePickerDialog(this, DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener { view, year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth ->
            calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, year)
            calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, monthOfYear)
            calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayOfMonth)
            val sdf = SimpleDateFormat(myFormat, Locale.US)
            val dob = sdf.format(calendar.time)

            val userAge = GregorianCalendar(year, month, day)
            val minAdultAge = GregorianCalendar()
            minAdultAge.add(Calendar.YEAR, -18)
            minAdultAge.add(Calendar.MONTH, -1)
            if (minAdultAge.before(userAge)) {
                Toast.makeText(this, getString(R.string.txt_18_years_age_validation), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            } else {
                etDob!!.setText(dob)
            }
        }, year, month, day
    )

    dpd.datePicker.maxDate = Calendar.getInstance().timeInMillis
    dpd.show()

What modifications needed to get validations for todays date.

Thank You.

I've edited to show how you could validate the exact age based on the day. It's meant as a help not a solution.

public static void main(String[] args) {

    Calendar present = Calendar.getInstance();
    Calendar personBirthDate = Calendar.getInstance();
    personBirthDate.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2001);
    personBirthDate.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, personBirthDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) - 1); // yesterday
    int yearDiff = present.get(Calendar.YEAR) - personBirthDate.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    int dayDiff =  present.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) - personBirthDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);

    System.out.println("Day of person birth year " + personBirthDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR));
    System.out.println("Day of current year " + present.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR));
    System.out.println("Years between " + yearDiff);

    if(present.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) - personBirthDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) > 0){
        System.out.println("You are only " + (yearDiff - 1) + " years old");
    }else if(present.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) - personBirthDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) < 0) {
        System.out.println("You are already " + yearDiff + " years old");
    }else{
        System.out.println("You are exactly " + yearDiff + " years old");
    }

}

Try turning minAdultAge and the DOB into millis for comparing

minAdultAge.timeInMillis > dob.timeInMillis
