Error showing support.v7.AppCompatDialogFragment using show() method

Question

I am using v7 support AppCompatDialogFragment in my app

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatDialogFragment;

public class LoginDialogFragment extends AppCompatDialogFragment {

}

Throughout the app I am using default Fragment and FragmentManager and NOT android.support.v4.app.Fragment or adroid.support.v4.app.FragmentManager

import android.app.Fragment;
import android.app.FragmentManager;

Now the problem is I want to show the dialog from an Activity by calling the method

public void show(@NotNull android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager manager,
                 java.lang.String tag)

Which does not accept android.app.FragmentManager as parameter.

So I can't call

LoginDialogFragment loginDialogFragment = new LoginDialogFragment();
loginDialogFragment.show(getFragmentManager(), "tag");

HOW TO SHOW DIALOG NOW ?

You can't use the native Fragment support with AppCompatDialogFragment. In fact, if you check closer the import of AppCompatDialogFragment, you will find out that it comes from the support library. You have to use getSupportFragmentManager() instead of getFragmentManager(). Like

loginDialogFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "tag");

everything from AppCompat* is from the support library

My activity is only showing `getFragmentManager()` and not showing `getSupportFragmentManager()` – Azim Ansari Feb 08 '16 at 13:28
Let your `Activity` extend `AppCompatActivity`. There is a reason if they all share the same prefix name ? – Blackbelt Feb 08 '16 at 13:29
Its already extending `android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity`. No such method `getSupportFragmentManager()` – Azim Ansari Feb 08 '16 at 13:31
then you have also access to getSupportFragmentManager. If you import it – Blackbelt Feb 08 '16 at 13:31
How ??? May be I need to extend `android.support.v4.app.Fragment`. But I don't want support for 3.0 devices my Min SKD = 11. Why to use support Fragment ?? – Azim Ansari Feb 08 '16 at 13:35

Why are you using `AppCompatDialogFragment.` then ? – Blackbelt Feb 08 '16 at 13:36

I fail to see why this answer was voted down, in fact it is probably already too good of an answer for this nonsensical question... – 2Dee Feb 08 '16 at 13:39
Puzzling... Its from v7 support library. So I thought Its the latest and will use Material design similar to `android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog`. Its not like that ??? Please teach me. – Azim Ansari Feb 08 '16 at 13:42
Thanks for your help @Blackbelt – Azim Ansari Feb 08 '16 at 13:45

Try this:

public void show(@NotNull android.app.FragmentManager manager, java.lang.String tag)
