How to call AppCompatDialogFragment from Fragment

Question

I have a class that extends from AppCompatDialogFragment

public class SendLetterDialogFragment extends AppCompatDialogFragment {
public static SendLetterDialogFragment newInstance() {

    Bundle args = new Bundle();
    SendLetterDialogFragment fragment = new SendLetterDialogFragment();
    fragment.setArguments(args);
    return fragment;
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.send_letter_dialog_fragment, container, false);
    ButterKnife.bind(this, view);
    return view;
}

}

When I show it from Activity(using `getSupportFragmentManager) it works. But I can't use this method in Fragment:

SendLetterDialogFragment fragment = SendLetterDialogFragment.newInstance();
    fragment.show(getFragmentManager(), "lol");

I've read some related issues like this Error showing support.v7.AppCompatDialogFragment using show() method but they didn't help me.

How to show AppCompatDialogFragment from the Fragment?

P.S. The activity, where the fragment places extends AppComtapActivity. Calling getChildFragmentManager instead of getFragmentManager doesn't help.

EDIT

I didn't solve this problem, so I decided to create dialog with AlertDialog.Builder.

Use getChildFragmentManager() instead of getFragmentManager().

Look at the screen on the bottom of the post. The same error with `getChildFragmentManager` – Sigmund Jun 14 '16 at 10:05
make sure you import android.support.v4.app.Fragment insted of android.app.Fragment – Divyesh Boda Jun 14 '16 at 10:10
You are right. I use `android.app.Fragment`, because I can't use `android.support.v4.app.Fragment` while using `NavigationView` – Sigmund Jun 14 '16 at 10:19
NavigationView you can also use android.support.v4.app.Fragment – Divyesh Boda Jun 14 '16 at 10:33
use android.support.v4.app.Fragment and fragmentmanager ignore android.app.Fragment and fragmentmanager – Divyesh Boda Jun 14 '16 at 11:34
I don't understand what do you mean. I can't you `android.support.v4.app.Fragment` for `NavigationView` directly. I showed you screen, buddy :) – Sigmund Jun 14 '16 at 12:06
thank you. Just found another way to call custom dialog. Unfortunately your advices didn't help :( – Sigmund Jun 14 '16 at 13:39
