You could use something like this.

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int todaysDate = c.get(Calendar.DATE);

 public void onClick(View v) {

            new DatePickerDialog(ReminderDetailActivity.this, date,
                    myCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), myCalendar
                            .get(Calendar.MONTH), myCalendar
                            .get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)).show();

                         if(todaysDate < date){
                    Toast.makeText(Activity.this, "choose a future date",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }else{
                    //execute normal function
    }


   }
