How To Use New Material Date Picker for Android

Google recently released MaterialDatePicker: a useful new component that complies with the material design guidelines. This new component has a feature that allows you to select a date range instead of the old flow of selecting two dates: one "from" and one "to" The component can be used as a DatePicker and a DateRangePicker. I was very excited about this and wanted to use this in an update to a project i work on: to improve the user experience. Sadly i could not find any examples or tutorials on using this lovely new component.
