The solution I came up with was to subclass DialogFragment, returning a DatePickerDialog in onCreate()
@Override public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) { return new DatePickerDialog(sContext, dateSetListener, sDate.get(Calendar.YEAR), sDate.get(Calendar.MONTH), sDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)); } I implement DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener.onDateSet() in my DateDialogFragment. private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener dateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() { @Override public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear, int dayOfMonth) { Calendar newDate = Calendar.getInstance(); newDate.set(year, monthOfYear, dayOfMonth); //call back to the DateDialogFragment listener sListener.dateDialogFragmentDateSet(newDate); } }; I also define a listener interface in my DateDialogFragment for the calling Activity/Fragment to implement. public interface DateDialogFragmentListener{ public void dateDialogFragmentDateSet(Calendar date); } As you can see above, I fire my DateDialogFragmentListener from the DatePickerDialog's listener.
