      This class was deprecated
      in API level 28.
    Use the Support Library
      DialogFragment for consistent behavior across all devices
      and access to Lifecycle.
  
A fragment that displays a dialog window, floating on top of its activity's window. This fragment contains a Dialog object, which it displays as appropriate based on the fragment's state. Control of the dialog (deciding when to show, hide, dismiss it) should be done through the API here, not with direct calls on the dialog.
Implementations should override this class and implement
 Fragment.onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater, android.view.ViewGroup, android.os.Bundle) to supply the
 content of the dialog.  Alternatively, they can override
 onCreateDialog(android.os.Bundle) to create an entirely custom dialog, such
 as an AlertDialog, with its own content.
 
Topics covered here:
Lifecycle
DialogFragment does various things to keep the fragment's lifecycle driving it, instead of the Dialog. Note that dialogs are generally autonomous entities -- they are their own window, receiving their own input events, and often deciding on their own when to disappear (by receiving a back key event or the user clicking on a button).
DialogFragment needs to ensure that what is happening with the Fragment
 and Dialog states remains consistent.  To do this, it watches for dismiss
 events from the dialog and takes care of removing its own state when they
 happen.  This means you should use show(android.app.FragmentManager, java.lang.String)
 or show(android.app.FragmentTransaction, java.lang.String) to add an instance of
 DialogFragment to your UI, as these keep track of how DialogFragment should
 remove itself when the dialog is dismissed.
 
 
Basic Dialog
The simplest use of DialogFragment is as a floating container for the fragment's view hierarchy. A simple implementation may look like this:
public static class MyDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
    int mNum;
    /**
     * Create a new instance of MyDialogFragment, providing "num"
     * as an argument.
     */
    static MyDialogFragment newInstance(int num) {
        MyDialogFragment f = new MyDialogFragment();
        // Supply num input as an argument.
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putInt("num", num);
        f.setArguments(args);
        return f;
    }
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mNum = getArguments().getInt("num");
        // Pick a style based on the num.
        int style = DialogFragment.STYLE_NORMAL, theme = 0;
        switch ((mNum-1)%6) {
            case 1: style = DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_TITLE; break;
            case 2: style = DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_FRAME; break;
            case 3: style = DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_INPUT; break;
            case 4: style = DialogFragment.STYLE_NORMAL; break;
            case 5: style = DialogFragment.STYLE_NORMAL; break;
            case 6: style = DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_TITLE; break;
            case 7: style = DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_FRAME; break;
            case 8: style = DialogFragment.STYLE_NORMAL; break;
        }
        switch ((mNum-1)%6) {
            case 4: theme = android.R.style.Theme_Holo; break;
            case 5: theme = android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light_Dialog; break;
            case 6: theme = android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light; break;
            case 7: theme = android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light_Panel; break;
            case 8: theme = android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light; break;
        }
        setStyle(style, theme);
    }
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_dialog, container, false);
        View tv = v.findViewById(R.id.text);
        ((TextView)tv).setText("Dialog #" + mNum + ": using style "
                + getNameForNum(mNum));
        // Watch for button clicks.
        Button button = (Button)v.findViewById(R.id.show);
        button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // When button is clicked, call up to owning activity.
                ((FragmentDialog)getActivity()).showDialog();
            }
        });
        return v;
    }
}An example showDialog() method on the Activity could be:
void showDialog() {
    mStackLevel++;
    // DialogFragment.show() will take care of adding the fragment
    // in a transaction.  We also want to remove any currently showing
    // dialog, so make our own transaction and take care of that here.
    FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
    Fragment prev = getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("dialog");
    if (prev != null) {
        ft.remove(prev);
    }
    ft.addToBackStack(null);
    // Create and show the dialog.
    DialogFragment newFragment = MyDialogFragment.newInstance(mStackLevel);
    newFragment.show(ft, "dialog");
}This removes any currently shown dialog, creates a new DialogFragment with an argument, and shows it as a new state on the back stack. When the transaction is popped, the current DialogFragment and its Dialog will be destroyed, and the previous one (if any) re-shown. Note that in this case DialogFragment will take care of popping the transaction of the Dialog is dismissed separately from it.
Alert Dialog
Instead of (or in addition to) implementing Fragment.onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) to
 generate the view hierarchy inside of a dialog, you may implement
 onCreateDialog(android.os.Bundle) to create your own custom Dialog object.
 
This is most useful for creating an AlertDialog, allowing you
 to display standard alerts to the user that are managed by a fragment.
 A simple example implementation of this is:
 
public static class MyAlertDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
    public static MyAlertDialogFragment newInstance(int title) {
        MyAlertDialogFragment frag = new MyAlertDialogFragment();
        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putInt("title", title);
        frag.setArguments(args);
        return frag;
    }
    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        int title = getArguments().getInt("title");
        return new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity())
                .setIcon(R.drawable.alert_dialog_icon)
                .setTitle(title)
                .setPositiveButton(R.string.alert_dialog_ok,
                    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
                            ((FragmentAlertDialog)getActivity()).doPositiveClick();
                        }
                    }
                )
                .setNegativeButton(R.string.alert_dialog_cancel,
                    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
                            ((FragmentAlertDialog)getActivity()).doNegativeClick();
                        }
                    }
                )
                .create();
    }
}The activity creating this fragment may have the following methods to show the dialog and receive results from it:
void showDialog() {
    DialogFragment newFragment = MyAlertDialogFragment.newInstance(
            R.string.alert_dialog_two_buttons_title);
    newFragment.show(getFragmentManager(), "dialog");
}
public void doPositiveClick() {
    // Do stuff here.
    Log.i("FragmentAlertDialog", "Positive click!");
}
public void doNegativeClick() {
    // Do stuff here.
    Log.i("FragmentAlertDialog", "Negative click!");
}Note that in this case the fragment is not placed on the back stack, it is just added as an indefinitely running fragment. Because dialogs normally are modal, this will still operate as a back stack, since the dialog will capture user input until it is dismissed. When it is dismissed, DialogFragment will take care of removing itself from its fragment manager.
Selecting Between Dialog or Embedding
A DialogFragment can still optionally be used as a normal fragment, if
 desired.  This is useful if you have a fragment that in some cases should
 be shown as a dialog and others embedded in a larger UI.  This behavior
 will normally be automatically selected for you based on how you are using
 the fragment, but can be customized with setShowsDialog(boolean).
 
For example, here is a simple dialog fragment:
public static class MyDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
    static MyDialogFragment newInstance() {
        return new MyDialogFragment();
    }
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.hello_world, container, false);
        View tv = v.findViewById(R.id.text);
        ((TextView)tv).setText("This is an instance of MyDialogFragment");
        return v;
    }
}An instance of this fragment can be created and shown as a dialog:
void showDialog() {
    // Create the fragment and show it as a dialog.
    DialogFragment newFragment = MyDialogFragment.newInstance();
    newFragment.show(getFragmentManager(), "dialog");
}It can also be added as content in a view hierarchy:
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction(); DialogFragment newFragment = MyDialogFragment.newInstance(); ft.add(R.id.embedded, newFragment); ft.commit();

Constants
STYLE_NORMAL
public static final int STYLE_NORMAL
Style for setStyle(int, int): a basic,
 normal dialog.
Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)
STYLE_NO_FRAME
public static final int STYLE_NO_FRAME
Style for setStyle(int, int): don't draw
 any frame at all; the view hierarchy returned by Fragment.onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle)
 is entirely responsible for drawing the dialog.
Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)
STYLE_NO_INPUT
public static final int STYLE_NO_INPUT
Style for setStyle(int, int): like
 STYLE_NO_FRAME, but also disables all input to the dialog.
 The user can not touch it, and its window will not receive input focus.
Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)
STYLE_NO_TITLE
public static final int STYLE_NO_TITLE
Style for setStyle(int, int): don't include
 a title area.
Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)
Public constructors
Public methods
dismiss
public void dismiss ()
Dismiss the fragment and its dialog. If the fragment was added to the back stack, all back stack state up to and including this entry will be popped. Otherwise, a new transaction will be committed to remove the fragment.
dismissAllowingStateLoss
public void dismissAllowingStateLoss ()
Version of dismiss() that uses
 FragmentTransaction.commitAllowingStateLoss().  See linked
 documentation for further details.
dump
public void dump (String prefix, FileDescriptor fd, PrintWriter writer, String[] args)
Print the Fragments's state into the given stream.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| prefix | String: Text to print at the front of each line. | 
| fd | FileDescriptor: The raw file descriptor that the dump is being sent to. | 
| writer | PrintWriter: The PrintWriter to which you should dump your state.  This will be
 closed for you after you return. | 
| args | String: additional arguments to the dump request. | 
getShowsDialog
public boolean getShowsDialog ()
Return the current value of setShowsDialog(boolean).
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | |
isCancelable
public boolean isCancelable ()
Return the current value of setCancelable(boolean).
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | |
onActivityCreated
public void onActivityCreated (Bundle savedInstanceState)
Called when the fragment's activity has been created and this
 fragment's view hierarchy instantiated.  It can be used to do final
 initialization once these pieces are in place, such as retrieving
 views or restoring state.  It is also useful for fragments that use
 setRetainInstance(boolean) to retain their instance,
 as this callback tells the fragment when it is fully associated with
 the new activity instance.  This is called after onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle)
 and before onViewStateRestored(android.os.Bundle).
 
 If you override this method you must call through to the
 superclass implementation.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| savedInstanceState | Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from
 a previous saved state, this is the state.
 This value may benull. | 
onAttach
public void onAttach (Context context)
Called when a fragment is first attached to its context.
 onCreate(android.os.Bundle) will be called after this.
 
 If you override this method you must call through to the
 superclass implementation.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| context | Context | 
onCancel
public void onCancel (DialogInterface dialog)
This method will be invoked when the dialog is canceled.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| dialog | DialogInterface: the dialog that was canceled will be passed into the
               method | 
onCreate
public void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState)
Called to do initial creation of a fragment.  This is called after
 onAttach(android.app.Activity) and before
 onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater, android.view.ViewGroup, android.os.Bundle), but is not called if the fragment
 instance is retained across Activity re-creation (see setRetainInstance(boolean)).
 
Note that this can be called while the fragment's activity is
 still in the process of being created.  As such, you can not rely
 on things like the activity's content view hierarchy being initialized
 at this point.  If you want to do work once the activity itself is
 created, see onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle).
 
If your app's targetSdkVersion is Build.VERSION_CODES.M
 or lower, child fragments being restored from the savedInstanceState are restored after
 onCreate returns. When targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.N or
 above and running on an N or newer platform version
 they are restored by Fragment.onCreate.
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| savedInstanceState | Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from
 a previous saved state, this is the state.
 This value may benull. | 
onCreateDialog
public Dialog onCreateDialog (Bundle savedInstanceState)
Override to build your own custom Dialog container.  This is typically
 used to show an AlertDialog instead of a generic Dialog; when doing so,
 Fragment.onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater, android.view.ViewGroup, android.os.Bundle) does not need
 to be implemented since the AlertDialog takes care of its own content.
 
This method will be called after onCreate(android.os.Bundle) and
 before Fragment.onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater, android.view.ViewGroup, android.os.Bundle).  The
 default implementation simply instantiates and returns a Dialog
 class.
 
Note: DialogFragment own the Dialog.setOnCancelListener and Dialog.setOnDismissListener callbacks.  You must not set them yourself.
 To find out about these events, override onCancel(android.content.DialogInterface)
 and onDismiss(android.content.DialogInterface).
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| savedInstanceState | Bundle: The last saved instance state of the Fragment,
 or null if this is a freshly created Fragment. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| Dialog | Return a new Dialog instance to be displayed by the Fragment. | 
onDetach
public void onDetach ()
Called when the fragment is no longer attached to its activity.  This is called after
 onDestroy(), except in the cases where the fragment instance is retained across
 Activity re-creation (see setRetainInstance(boolean)), in which case it is called
 after onStop().
 
 If you override this method you must call through to the
 superclass implementation.
onDismiss
public void onDismiss (DialogInterface dialog)
This method will be invoked when the dialog is dismissed.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| dialog | DialogInterface: the dialog that was dismissed will be passed into the
               method | 
onSaveInstanceState
public void onSaveInstanceState (Bundle outState)
Called to ask the fragment to save its current dynamic state, so it
 can later be reconstructed in a new instance of its process is
 restarted.  If a new instance of the fragment later needs to be
 created, the data you place in the Bundle here will be available
 in the Bundle given to onCreate(android.os.Bundle),
 onCreateView(android.view.LayoutInflater, android.view.ViewGroup, android.os.Bundle), and
 onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle).
 
This corresponds to Activity.onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) and most of the discussion there
 applies here as well.  Note however: this method may be called
 at any time before onDestroy().  There are many situations
 where a fragment may be mostly torn down (such as when placed on the
 back stack with no UI showing), but its state will not be saved until
 its owning activity actually needs to save its state.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| outState | Bundle: Bundle in which to place your saved state. | 
onStart
public void onStart ()
Called when the Fragment is visible to the user.  This is generally
 tied to Activity.onStart of the containing
 Activity's lifecycle.
 
 If you override this method you must call through to the
 superclass implementation.
onStop
public void onStop ()
Called when the Fragment is no longer started.  This is generally
 tied to Activity.onStop of the containing
 Activity's lifecycle.
 
 If you override this method you must call through to the
 superclass implementation.
setCancelable
public void setCancelable (boolean cancelable)
Control whether the shown Dialog is cancelable.  Use this instead of
 directly calling Dialog.setCancelable(boolean), because DialogFragment needs to change
 its behavior based on this.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| cancelable | boolean: If true, the dialog is cancelable.  The default
 is true. | 
setShowsDialog
public void setShowsDialog (boolean showsDialog)
Controls whether this fragment should be shown in a dialog.  If not
 set, no Dialog will be created in onActivityCreated(android.os.Bundle),
 and the fragment's view hierarchy will thus not be added to it.  This
 allows you to instead use it as a normal fragment (embedded inside of
 its activity).
 
This is normally set for you based on whether the fragment is
 associated with a container view ID passed to
 FragmentTransaction.add(int, Fragment).
 If the fragment was added with a container, setShowsDialog will be
 initialized to false; otherwise, it will be true.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| showsDialog | boolean: If true, the fragment will be displayed in a Dialog.
 If false, no Dialog will be created and the fragment's view hierarchly
 left undisturbed. | 
setStyle
public void setStyle (int style,
