Show DialogFragment from another DialogFragment

Question

I have a DialogFragment that displays a list of options to the user, one of these options is \"Delete\" option, when the user presses the delete option I want to sh

Answer 1

Very recently, I had this problem and none of the options above worked for me. I tried using the method below:

DialogFragment fragment = new MyFragment(); //where MyFragment is my fragment I want to show
fragment.setCancelable(true);
fragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "timePicker");

This will ONLY work if you're using this in an activity (i.e to call a dialog fragment from an activity class).

I however fixed this by downcasting my activity instance to an AppCompat activity and using it to call getSupportFragment() as shown below:

DialogFragment timeFragment = new TimePicker();
timeFragment.setCancelable(true);
AppCompatActivity activity = (AppCompatActivity) getActivity();
timeFragment.show(activity.getSupportFragmentManager(), "timePicker");

I hope this helps.. Merry coding!!
