Enter and Exit Animations not working in Dialog Fragment

Question

I have checked all the Stack Overflow Q/A on this, still can't find a solution.

Here are the files:

DialogFragment.java

package app.com.thetechnocafe.mealsquickie.Dialogs;

import android.app.Dialog;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText;
import android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout;
import android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;

import app.com.thetechnocafe.mealsquickie.R;
import butterknife.BindView;
import butterknife.ButterKnife;

public class NewCategoryDialog extends DialogFragment {

    @BindView(R.id.category_name_text_input_layout)
    TextInputLayout mCategoryNameTextInputLayout;
    @BindView(R.id.category_name_text_input_edit_text)
    TextInputEditText mCategoryNameTextInputEditText;
    @BindView(R.id.cancel_button)
    Button mCancelButton;
    @BindView(R.id.add_button)
    Button mAddButton;

    private OnAddCategoryListener mListener;

    //Interface for callbacks
    public interface OnAddCategoryListener {
        void onCategoryAdded(String category);
    }

    //Instance method
    public static NewCategoryDialog getInstance() {
        return new NewCategoryDialog();
    }

    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        //Inflate the custom dialog
        View root = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.dialog_new_category, container, false);

        ButterKnife.bind(this, root);

        setEventListeners();

        //Set properties
        getDialog().requestWindowFeature(STYLE_NO_TITLE);
        setCancelable(false);

        return root;
    }

    @Override
    public void onStart() {
        super.onStart();
        getDialog().getWindow().setLayout(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    }

    private void setEventListeners() {
        mCancelButton.setOnClickListener(view -> getDialog().dismiss());

        mAddButton.setOnClickListener(view -> validateAndSubmitFields());
    }

    private void validateAndSubmitFields() {
        if (mListener != null) {
            //Remove all the already existing errors
            mCategoryNameTextInputLayout.setErrorEnabled(false);

            String category = mCategoryNameTextInputEditText.getText().toString();

            if (category.equals("")) {
                mCategoryNameTextInputLayout.setError(getString(R.string.category_name_cannot_be_empty));
                return;
            }

            mListener.onCategoryAdded(category);
        } else {
            Toast.makeText(getContext(), "No Listener attached for adding new category. Please contact the developer.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

    @NonNull
    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        Dialog dialog = super.onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState);

        dialog.getWindow().getAttributes().windowAnimations = R.style.DialogSlideFromBottomAnimation;
        return dialog;
    }
}

slide_down.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <translate
        android:duration="1000"
        android:fromYDelta="0%"
        android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
        android:toYDelta="100%" />
</set>

slide_up.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <translate
        android:duration="1000"
        android:fromYDelta="100%"
        android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
        android:toYDelta="0%" />
</set>

Showing the dialog:

DialogFragment dialog = NewCategoryDialog.getInstance();
dialog.show(getFragmentManager(), DIALOG_NEW_CATEGORY_TAG);

I have tried both getAttributes().windowAnimations and setWindowAnimations(), and have also tried it putting it in onActivityCreated, onCreateDialog, onCreateView, but it doesn't seem to work.

No matter which the solutions you pick you might have had the same problem as me.

I need to UNINSTALL the game from my development device before installing the new version for the changes to take effect.

I am not sure why but I guess it has to do with the optimized deployment on Android studio not recognizing the changes.
