Using FragmentTransaction with a DialogFragment

Question

So I\'ve created a DialogFragment that is shown as a dialog via this technique

Now that it\'s launched and upon a user interaction within this popup I want to slide in a

alexanderblom is right that DialogFragment acts as a Dialog, however it can be made to act as a Fragment with setShowsDialog(false);

In the end the following worked for me:

File: res/layout/wifidirect_dialog_wifidirect:

File src/.../WifiDirectDialog.java:

public class WiFiDirectDialog extends DialogFragment  {
        public static final String TAG = "WifiDirectDialog";
        public static final String DEVICE_LIST_FRAGMENT_TAG = "WIFIDIRECT_DEVICE_LIST_FRAGMENT";


        public static WiFiDirectDialog newInstance(){                 
             WiFiDirectDialog wDialog = new WiFiDirectDialog();
             //We want this Dialog to be a Fragment in fact,
             //otherwise there are problems with showing another fragment, the DeviceListFragment
             wDialog.setShowsDialog(false);
             //wDialog.setStyle(SherlockDialogFragment.STYLE_NORMAL,android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Light_Dialog);
             //We don't want to recreate the instance every time user rotates the phone
             wDialog.setRetainInstance(true);
             //Don't close the dialog when touched outside
             wDialog.setCancelable(false);
             return wDialog;
        }


        @Override
        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            Log.v(TAG,"onCreateView");

            View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.wifidirect_dialog_wifidirect,container, false);

            //Log.v(TAG,"FragmentTransaction started");            
            ListFragment listFragment = new YourListFragment();

            FragmentTransaction transaction = getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
            transaction.addToBackStack(DEVICE_LIST_FRAGMENT_TAG)
                .replace(R.id.frag_list,deviceListFragment,DEVICE_LIST_FRAGMENT_TAG)
                .commit();
            //Log.v(TAG,"FragmentTransaction finished");

            return view;
        };

        @Override
        public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState){
            Log.v(TAG,"onActivityCreated");
            super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);

            Dialog dialog = getDialog();
            dialog.setTitle(R.string.wifidirect_dialog_title);

            // Set button listeners etc...///
            Button cancelButton = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.dialog_wifidirect_cancel);
            cancelButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(View v) {                
                    dismiss();
                }
            });
        }
