Dialog vs DialogFragment
The Dialog
class is the base class for dialogs, but you should avoid instantiating Dialog
directly. Instead, use one of it’s subclasses. Dialogs
are entirely dependent on Activities. If the screen is rotated, the dialog is dismissed.
A DialogFragment
is a fragment that displays a dialog window, floating on top of its activity’s window. This fragment contains a Dialog
object, which it displays as appropriate based on the fragment’s state. Using DialogFragment
to manage the dialog ensures that it correctly handles lifecycle events such as when the user presses the Back button or rotates the screen.
