How to show DialogFragment from Fragment in actionBar android

Question

I use Tabs ActionBar with Fragments. Inside one fragment I have button. I want to show a DialogFragment (inside my fragment) when the button is pressed. How can I do that?

This is my code

 public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements EditNameDialogListener {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        //showEditDialog();
        ActionBar actionbar = getActionBar();
        // Tell the ActionBar we want to use Tabs.
        actionbar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);
        // initiating both tabs and set text to it.
        ActionBar.Tab InboxTab = actionbar.newTab().setText("One");
        ActionBar.Tab SentTab = actionbar.newTab().setText("Two");

        Fragment InboxFragment = new Inbox();
        Fragment SentFragment = new SentBox();
        InboxTab.setTabListener(new MyTabsListener(InboxFragment));
        SentTab.setTabListener(new MyTabsListener(SentFragment));
        actionbar.addTab(InboxTab);
        actionbar.addTab(SentTab);
    }

    private void showEditDialog() {
        FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
        EditNameDialog editNameDialog = new EditNameDialog();
        editNameDialog.show(fm, "fragment_edit_name");
    }

    @Override
    public void onFinishEditDialog(String inputText) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Hi, " + inputText, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

}
class MyTabsListener implements ActionBar.TabListener {
    public Fragment fragment;

    public MyTabsListener(Fragment fragment) {
        this.fragment = fragment;
    }
    public class Inbox extends Fragment implements EditNameDialogListener{

        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            // Inflate the layout for this fragment
            Utility util = new Utility(getActivity());
            View view =  inflater.inflate(R.layout.inbox, container, false);
            ArrayList<String[]> searchResults = util.ReadFile();

            final ListView lv1 = (ListView) view.findViewById(R.id.inboxList);

                 String[] fullObject = (String[])o;
                Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "You have chosen: " + " " + fullObject[0], Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
             } 
            });

Answer 1

use this to show dialogfragment from fragment

FragmentManager fm = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
DialogFragment dialog = new MyDialogFragment(); // creating new object
dialog.show(fm, "dialog");
