Static library support version of the framework's DialogFragment. Used to write apps that run on platforms prior to Android 3.0. When running on Android 3.0 or above, this implementation is still used; it does not try to switch to the framework's implementation. See the framework SDK documentation for a class overview.

DialogFragment ()

Public methods

dismiss

added in version 22.1.0
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

added in version 22.1.0
void dismissAllowingStateLoss ()

Version of dismiss() that uses FragmentTransaction.commitAllowingStateLoss(). See linked documentation for further details.

getDialog

added in version 22.1.0
Dialog getDialog ()

Returns
Dialog

getShowsDialog

added in version 22.1.0
boolean getShowsDialog ()

Return the current value of setShowsDialog(boolean).

Returns
boolean

getTheme

added in version 22.1.0
int getTheme ()

Returns
int

isCancelable

added in version 22.1.0
boolean isCancelable ()

Return the current value of setCancelable(boolean).

Returns
boolean

onActivityCreated

added in version 22.1.0
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(Bundle).

Parameters
savedInstanceState Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from a previous saved state, this is the state.

onAttach

added in version 24.1.0
void onAttach (Context context)

Called when a fragment is first attached to its context. onCreate(Bundle) will be called after this.

Parameters
context Context

onCancel

added in version 22.1.0
void onCancel (DialogInterface dialog)

Parameters
dialog DialogInterface

onCreate

added in version 22.1.0
void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState)

Called to do initial creation of a fragment. This is called after onAttach(Activity) and before onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle).

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(Bundle).

Any restored child fragments will be created before the base Fragment.onCreate method returns.

Parameters
savedInstanceState Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from a previous saved state, this is the state.

onCreateDialog

added in version 22.1.0
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, onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) does not need to be implemented since the AlertDialog takes care of its own content.

This method will be called after onCreate(Bundle) and before onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, 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(DialogInterface) and onDismiss(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.

onDestroyView

added in version 22.1.0
void onDestroyView ()

Remove dialog.

onDetach

added in version 22.1.0
void onDetach ()

Called when the fragment is no longer attached to its activity. This is called after onDestroy().

onDismiss

added in version 22.1.0
void onDismiss (DialogInterface dialog)

Parameters
dialog DialogInterface

onGetLayoutInflater

added in version 25.4.0
LayoutInflater onGetLayoutInflater (Bundle savedInstanceState)

Returns the LayoutInflater used to inflate Views of this Fragment. The default implementation will throw an exception if the Fragment is not attached.

Parameters
savedInstanceState Bundle: If the fragment is being re-created from a previous saved state, this is the state.

Returns
LayoutInflater The LayoutInflater used to inflate Views of this Fragment.

onSaveInstanceState

added in version 22.1.0
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(Bundle), onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle), and onActivityCreated(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

added in version 22.1.0
void onStart ()

Called when the Fragment is visible to the user. This is generally tied to Activity.onStart of the containing Activity's lifecycle.

onStop

added in version 22.1.0
void onStop ()

Called when the Fragment is no longer started. This is generally tied to Activity.onStop of the containing Activity's lifecycle.

setCancelable

added in version 22.1.0
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

added in version 22.1.0
void setShowsDialog (boolean showsDialog)

Controls whether this fragment should be shown in a dialog. If not set, no Dialog will be created in onActivityCreated(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 hierarchy left undisturbed.

setStyle

added in version 22.1.0
void setStyle (int style, 
                int theme)

Call to customize the basic appearance and behavior of the fragment's dialog. This can be used for some common dialog behaviors, taking care of selecting flags, theme, and other options for you. The same effect can be achieve by manually setting Dialog and Window attributes yourself. Calling this after the fragment's Dialog is created will have no effect.

Parameters
style int: Selects a standard style: may be STYLE_NORMAL, STYLE_NO_TITLE, STYLE_NO_FRAME, or STYLE_NO_INPUT.

theme int: Optional custom theme. If 0, an appropriate theme (based on the style) will be selected for you.

show

added in version 22.1.0
int show (FragmentTransaction transaction, 
                String tag)

Display the dialog, adding the fragment using an existing transaction and then committing the transaction.

Parameters
transaction FragmentTransaction: An existing transaction in which to add the fragment.

tag String: The tag for this fragment, as per FragmentTransaction.add.

Returns
int Returns the identifier of the committed transaction, as per FragmentTransaction.commit().

show

added in version 22.1.0
void show (FragmentManager manager, 
                String tag)

Display the dialog, adding the fragment to the given FragmentManager. This is a convenience for explicitly creating a transaction, adding the fragment to it with the given tag, and committing it. This does not add the transaction to the fragment back stack. When the fragment is dismissed, a new transaction will be executed to remove it from the activity.

Parameters
manager FragmentManager: The FragmentManager this fragment will be added to.

tag String: The tag for this fragment, as per FragmentTransaction.add.

showNow

added in version 27.1.0
void showNow (FragmentManager manager, 
                String tag)

Display the dialog, immediately adding the fragment to the given FragmentManager. This is a convenience for explicitly creating a transaction, adding the fragment to it with the given tag, and calling commitNow(). This does not add the transaction to the fragment back stack. When the fragment is dismissed, a new transaction will be executed to remove it from the activity.

Parameters
manager FragmentManager: The FragmentManager this fragment will be added to.

tag String: The tag for this fragment, as per FragmentTransaction.add.
