This class was deprecated in API level 28. Use the Support Library Fragment for consistent behavior across all devices and access to Lifecycle.This class was deprecated in API level 28.

What is going on ?
What we should use now instead of Fragments and DialogFragments ?

You have to change the import statement only.

From : android.app.Fragment To: android.support.v4.app.Fragment

That's it

Now,You can use Fragment Support library (AndroidX) from Android P(28).

Add following in gradle.properties

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

Add following dependency in project build.gradle

implementation 'androidx.fragment:fragment:1.0.0'

Change import statement from

Fragment: import android.app.Fragment;

DialogFragment: import android.app.DialogFragment;

TO

Fragment: import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment;

DialogFragment: androidx.fragment.app.DialogFragment;
