This is not compatible for Support Library.

[galacticappster04]

I cannot seem to pass FragmentManager from a fragment via a getFragmentManager(). The version of the support library I am getting this from is v4's.

Here is my code:

        EditText fromDate = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.edittext_frag_filter_date_from);
        fromDate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
        {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view)
            {
                FragmentManager fg = RankingsFilterFragment.this.getFragmentManager();

                Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
                DatePickerDialog datePickerDialog = DatePickerDialog.newInstance(RankingsFilterFragment.this, now.get(Calendar.YEAR), now.get(Calendar.MONTH), Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
                datePickerDialog.show(fg, "THIS IS NOT WORKING FIX THIS!");
            }
        });

I am having error on show() since it is asking for FragmentManager I need to pass FragmentManager from v4 support library. I can't.

It says this one has support for Android 4.0 (API15) I am using API16. Is there a workaround for this? Or something I've missed?

It is compatible, in the sense that you need to use the regular FragmentManager to display the dialogs, but can use the SupportFragmentManager in other place of your application

From the FAQ

Why not use SupportDialogFragment?

Not using the support library versions has been a well considered choice, based on the following considerations:

Less than 5% of the devices using the android market do not support native Fragments, a number which will decrease even further going forward.
Even if you use SupportFragments in your application, you can still use the normal FragmentManager
This means that in the current setup everyone can use the library: people using the support library and people not using the support library.

Finally changing to SupportDialogFragment now will break the API for all the people using this library.

If you do really need SupportDialogFragment, you should fork the library. It involves changing all of 2 lines of code, so it should be easy enough to keep it up to date with the upstream.

Hi @wdullaer,
thanks for the great work on the lib!

I just wanted to let you know that I forked the lib because I need support for fragments from support lib:
https://github.com/infinum/MaterialDateTimePicker

I don't plan to add any new features, but I do plan to keep the fork up-to-date with your changes. It's also published to jcenter.

Cool
I added this to the README

You can use both the regular and support fragment manager side by side in a single app, but for religious people / esoteric use cases, this could be great

@wdullaer Hi again! Just wanted to point out that now seems like a good time to revisit the decision to not support fragments from the support lib.

Please take a look at this answer from a google engineer explaining that platform fragments will be deprecated in the next version of Android:
