Fragment already added, dialogfragment?

Question

I have a dialogfragment which displays fine but some time when I try to display it I keep getting IllegalStateException

Below is the logcat

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fragment already added: SelectPlan04Dialog{fa768dc #7 }

This is the code as how I am calling the dialog

if (selectPlan04Dialog == null) {
    selectPlan04Dialog = new SelectPlan04Dialog();
}
if (!selectPlan04Dialog.isVisible() && !selectPlan04Dialog.isAdded()) {
    Bundle b = new Bundle();
    b.putSerializable("moduleApi", module);
    selectPlan04Dialog.setArguments(b);                
    selectPlan04Dialog.show(getCurrentActivity().getSupportFragmentManager(), "");
}

Fragment transactions are asynchronous.

It is possible that you have two or more calls to this code before the fragment transactions are executed. !selectPlan04Dialog.isVisible() & !selectPlan04Dialog.isAdded() condition is true and show() schedules another fragment transaction to execute later.

Some options for fixing this:

• Create a new dialog every time and don't try to reuse an old one
• Change asynchronous fragment transactions to synchronous with a call to fragment manager executePendingTransactions()
