I'm trying to launch an Material date picker from a fragment and I'm getting this error
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fragment MaterialDatePicker{6058a76} (da2fbbc0-ee9f-4536-85f7-3942c18a1087) not attached to an activity.
My Fragment
@AndroidEntryPoint
class ReportFragment : Fragment() {
private var _binding: FragmentReportBinding? = null
private val binding get() = _binding!!
private var stDate: Long? = null
private var ndDate: Long? = null
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View {
_binding = FragmentReportBinding.inflate(inflater, container, false)
setUpUi()
return binding.root
}
private fun setUpUi() {
with(binding) {
startDate.setOnClickListener {
showDatePicker(
getString(R.string.select_start_date),
selectedStartDate,
DateType.START_DATE
)
}
}
}
private fun showDatePicker(dateCategory: String, textView: TextView, dateType: DateType) {
val datePicker = MaterialDatePicker.Builder.datePicker().apply {
setTitleText(dateCategory)
setInputMode(MaterialDatePicker.INPUT_MODE_CALENDAR)
setSelection(MaterialDatePicker.todayInUtcMilliseconds())
}.build()
datePicker.apply {
show(requireActivity().supportFragmentManager, "DATE_PICKER")
addOnPositiveButtonClickListener {
val date = this.headerText
textView.text = date
when (dateType) {
DateType.START_DATE -> stDate = it
DateType.END_DATE -> ndDate = it
}
}
}
}
}
enum class DateType {
START_DATE,
END_DATE
}
This is the error I'm getting

I replaced the
datePicker.apply {
show(requireActivity() ...
with the following code
show(this@ReportFragment.requireActivity().supportFragmentManager, "DATE_PICKER")
and it worked
Here is the full body function
private fun showDatePicker(dateCategory: String, textView: TextView, dateType: DateType) {
val datePicker = MaterialDatePicker.Builder.datePicker().apply {
setTitleText(dateCategory)
setInputMode(MaterialDatePicker.INPUT_MODE_CALENDAR)
setSelection(MaterialDatePicker.todayInUtcMilliseconds())
}.build()
datePicker.apply {
show(this@ReportFragment.requireActivity().supportFragmentManager, "DATE_PICKER")
addOnPositiveButtonClickListener {
val date = this.headerText
textView.text = date
when (dateType) {
DateType.START_DATE -> stDate = it
DateType.END_DATE -> ndDate = it
}
}
}
}
As the suggestion was given above. that apply changes the receiver i.e. this, and the receiver here has requireActivity() defined too, so it resolves first.
