Fragment already added: DateDialog

Question

I have make my editText clickable. Once it is clicked, it will display DatePicker dialog.

 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.information);
 date = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.date);
 dialog=new DateDialog();
 date.setOnClickListener(this);

        public void onClick(View arg0) {
        FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
        dialog.show(ft, "DatePicker");
        }

 public static class DateDialog extends android.app.DialogFragment implements DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener {
        public DateDialog() {}

         public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            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);
            return new DatePickerDialog(getActivity(),this,year,month,day);
        }

        public void onDateSet(DatePicker view,int year, int month, int day)
        {
            String date1=day+"-"+(month+1)+"-"+year;
            date.setText(date1);
            date2= date.getText().toString();
            return ;
         }
    }

If I accidentally double click on the editText, the app crashed and shows Fragment already added error as below.

Does anyone know how to fix this ? Thanks

Answer 1

the app crashed and shows Fragment already added error as below

Because make a call to show method. check for is Dialog is showing or not if showing then discard the click event otherwise show Dialog:

Dialog dialogFrg=dialog.getDialog();
if(dialogFrg!=null && dialogFrg.isShowing()) {
   // no need to call dialog.show(ft, "DatePicker");
} else {
   // call dialog.show(ft, "DatePicker");
}

or use can also use a boolean flag like a switch to check Dialog is showing or not by making flag true/false.

Answer 2

you can use :

  if(!dialogFragment.isAdded())
    dialogFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "datePicker");
