1. Android DialogFragment

Android DialogFragment is a fragment containing a Dialog. It controls the operation of the Dialog, such as determines when to hide, display, or dismiss this Dialog. You should interact with the Dialog through the methods of DialogFragment instead of interacting directly.
You might ask the question: "Why do they need a DialogFragment when we already have a Dialog?". The answer is DialogFragment was created to overcome some of Dialog's weaknesses.

It is easy for you to get a DialogFragment, just take 2 steps as follows:
Starting with writing a class of YourDialogFragment extended from the DialogFragment class. And then override the onCreateDialog(Bundle) method which returns a Dialog (YourDialog). As a result, YourDialogFragment now plays a role of a container of YourDialog.

In this example, we are going to create a YesNoDialogFragment class extended from the DialogFragment class. This class contains an AlertDialog with 2 buttons, YES/NO.
This example will showcase how to create and display YesNoDialogFragment from an Activity. You can also create and display YesNoDialogFragment from one another fragment with a little change in the code.
Alright, now on Android Studio create a project:
  • File > New > New Project > Empty Activity
    • Name: DialogFragmentExample
    • Package name: org.o7planning.dialogfragmentexample
    • Language: Java
The application interface looks like this:
