I am using a customized DialogFragment. In the onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) method, I inflate a layout that contains another fragment causing the app to crash. How can I fix it?

Yes, more info please! Why is the cause of the crash according to Logcat? Can you show the code you are talking about including this other Fragment – mgibson Jul 18 '13 at 15:13

My question is simple :) How do you place a fragment inside a dialog fragment? – Abdalrahman Shatou Jul 18 '13 at 17:58

You cannot nest Fragments in other Fragments with XML-Layouts. You have to add them with code. To insert a Fragment into another Fragment you have to use a special FragmentManager - a child FragmentManager. You can get it from the parent Fragment:
//In the DialogFragment ('parent') get the child FragmentManager:
FragmentTransaction transaction = getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
transaction.transaction.add(new MyCustomChildFragment(), "CustomTag");
I usually add child Fragments in onActivityCreated().

i couldn't understand your answer. getChildFragmentManager() is not available for DialogFragment. – Abdalrahman Shatou Jul 18 '13 at 17:58

1Sure it is: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Fragment.html#getChildFragmentManager() – thaussma Jul 18 '13 at 19:13
