IllegalArgumentException when trying to populate fragments for a ViewPager within a DialogFragment

Question

I'm launching a DialogFragment which has a ViewPager in it, which in turn will have multiple fragments in it.

When i try to actually add the fragments inside the ViewPager though, I get an IllegalArgumentException saying the view is not found:

So basically I have the following flow:

Activity --> DialogFragment (has a) > ViewPager --> calls Adapter that in turn calls multiple fragments. Here's some relevant code:

DialogFragment

public class GuestProfileQuestionnaireContainerDialogFragment
        extends DialogFragment  {

    @InjectView(R.id.guest_profile_questionnaire_pager) ViewPager mProfileQuestionnairePager;

    // ...

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater,
                             ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View layoutView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_guest_profile_questionnaire_container,
                                           container,
                                           false);
        ButterKnife.inject(this, layoutView);

        // ...
        setupProfileQuestionnaire();

        return layoutView;
    }

    // ...

    private void setupProfileQuestionnaire() {
        mProfileQuestionnairePager.setAdapter(new GuestProfileQuestionnairePagerAdapter(getFragmentManager()));
    }
}

layout (nothing fancy here)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <FrameLayout ...

    <TextView ...

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/guest_profile_questionnaire_pager"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"/>

</LinearLayout>

PagerAdapter that populates fragments

public class GuestProfileQuestionnairePagerAdapter
        extends FragmentStatePagerAdapter {

    public static final int TOTAL_NUM_OF_STEPS = 1;

    public GuestProfileQuestionnairePagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return TOTAL_NUM_OF_STEPS;
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {

        switch (position) {
            case 0:
                return GuestProfileQuestionnaireStep1Fragment.newInstance();
        }

        return null;
    }
}

Fragment

public class GuestProfileQuestionnaireStep1Fragment
        extends Fragment {

    private GuestProfileQuestionnaireStep1Fragment() {
        super();
    }

    public static GuestProfileQuestionnaireStep1Fragment newInstance() {
        return new GuestProfileQuestionnaireStep1Fragment();
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater,
                             ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_guest_profile_questionnaire_step1,
                                container,
                                false);
    }
}

I don't get an exception when my ViewPager is empty. So basically when the ViewPAger alone is inflated there's no problem. However the minute I return an actual fragment within the ViewPager, I get the exception.

This turned out to be a very interesting issue. I was in the process of writing a detailed explanation.... when i found another Stack Overflow Answer with a better explanation. Duh!

This link points to a very similar problem:

ViewPager with Fragments inside PopupWindow (or DialogFragment) - Error no view found for id for fragment

The solution involves using a ChildFragmentManager. Things i learned along the way:

getChildFragmentManager() is fine if your ViewPager is hosted inside a Fragment, but not if the ViewPager is hosted inside of a FragmentActivity
You need your activities, fragments etc to be of the "support version" (so FragmentActivity) if you want ChildFragmentManger to work with a minSdk of 14.

1st of all you used getChildFragmentManager() for inside to inside dailogview.

but if you used getChildFragmentManager() than you should try to dailogFragment.

Than after you used FragmentDialog:

1st: DialogFragment used this

 public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)

instend of

Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState);

2nd: set You viewpager inside Dialog Layout and make adapter for viewpager.

3rd: Used of dialogFragment:

MyCustomDialog fragment1 = new MyCustomDialog(listdata, position);
                                FragmentManager fm = act.getSupportFragmentManager();
                fragment1.show(fm, "");

I was having the same problem, after many searches found one particular answer and is amazing.

try this link below.

https://github.com/kiteflo/Android_Tabbed_Dialog

There is an activity calling the DialogFragment, and that DialogFragment layout contains the ViewPager. using the Adapter managed to make fragments in dialog.

NOTE: Make sure to use FragmentManager as getChildFragmentManager() in your DialogFragment on the time of creating Adapter.
