Answer 1

Use a DialogFragment

If i am guessing right you want to show a DatePicker on click of buttonDate

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/controls/pickers.html

On Button click

DialogFragment picker = new DatePickerFragment();
picker.show(getFragmentManager(), "datePicker");

DatePickerFragment.java

public class DatePickerFragment extends DialogFragment
implements DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener {


@Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Use the current date as the default date in the picker
final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
int year = c.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month = c.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int day = c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); 

// Create a new instance of DatePickerDialog and return it
return new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, year, month, day);
}

@Override
public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int month, int day) {
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.set(year, month, day);

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String formattedDate = sdf.format(c.getTime());    
}
}

How to implement DatePicker in Fragment?

The same way you would "implement" a TextView in a Fragment: have onCreateView() return a View that is or contains a DatePicker. For example, you might have a layout file that contains a DatePicker widget, and have onCreateView() inflate that layout.

. . . which isn't working in my case because of type mismatch of Fragment and DialogFragment

A DialogFragment IS-A Fragment because it extends Fragment.Therefore, you can use a DialogFragment anywhere you would a Fragment.
