Android options

calendar (obsolete)	boolean	false	false shows spinners, however this depend on the theme selected and SDK version. When true, forces a calendar view.
is24HourView	boolean	true	Use a 24 hour clock

On Lollipop and upwards the date and time pickers changed to calendar and radial pickers. If you want to use spinners (for example to use minuteInterval), use a built-in android.R.style theme that shows a date and time picker with spinners or read up here how to customize this.

Example

document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
function onDeviceReady() {

	var myDate = new Date(); // From model.

	cordova.plugins.DateTimePicker.show({
		mode: "date",
		date: myDate,
		allowOldDates: true,
		allowFutureDates: true,
		minDate: new Date(),
		maxDate: null,
		minuteInterval: 15,
		locale: "EN",
		okText: "Select",
		cancelText: "Cancel",
		android: {
			theme: 16974126, // Theme_DeviceDefault_Dialog
			calendar: false,
			is24HourView: true
		},
		success: function(newDate) {
			// Handle new date.
			console.info(newDate);
			myDate = newDate;
		},
		cancel: function() {
			console.info("Cancelled");
		},
		error: function (err) {
			// Handle error.
			console.error(err);
		}
	});
}

Note that not all options have to be set.
