DialogFragment.getDialog returns null

Question

I am trying to get the Dialog I have created with an extended DialogFragment using DialogFragment.getDialog() but it returns null.

Answer 1

Try calling executePendingTransactions() from the available FragmentManager.

    dialogFragment = new DialogFragment();
        ...
    dialogFragment.show(mFragmentActivity.getSupportFragmentManager(), "Dialog");
    mFragmentActivity.getSupportFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions();

    Dialog d = dialogFragment.getDialog()
        ...
