Simplest yes/no dialog fragment

Question

I\'d like to make a dialog fragment that asks \"Are you sure?\" with a \"yes/no\" reply.

I\'ve looked at the documentation and it\'s really verbose, go

A DialogFragment is really just a fragment that wraps a dialog. You can put any kind of dialog in there by creating and returning the dialog in the onCreateDialog() method of the DialogFragment.

Heres an example DialogFragment:

class MyDialogFragment extends DialogFragment{
    Context mContext;
    public MyDialogFragment() {
        mContext = getActivity();
    }
    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
        alertDialogBuilder.setTitle("Really?");
        alertDialogBuilder.setMessage("Are you sure?");
        //null should be your on click listener
        alertDialogBuilder.setPositiveButton("OK", null);
        alertDialogBuilder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });


        return alertDialogBuilder.create();
    }
}

To create the dialog call:

new MyDialogFragment().show(getFragmentManager(), "MyDialog");

And to dismiss the dialog from somewhere:

((MyDialogFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("MyDialog")).getDialog().dismiss();

All of that code will work perfectly with the support library, by just changing the imports to use the support library classes.
