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

There is 2 way to show DialogFragment:

  void showDialog() { 
    // Create the fragment and show it as a dialog. 
    DialogFragment newFragment = MyDialogFragment.newInstance(); 
    newFragment.show(getFragmentManager(), "dialog");
} 

And

 FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
DialogFragment newFragment = MyDialogFragment.newInstance(); 
ft.add(R.id.embedded, newFragment);
ft.commit(); 

You can only get a nonNull dialog when using the first way.
