Answer 1

Everything is ok in your code two changes you have to do in your code

First do this in onCreateView

myCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();

And add this

_date.show();

before

return _date;

Answer 2

Change from

 myCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR),
 myCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH),
 myCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH))

to

 now.get(Calendar.YEAR),
 now.get(Calendar.MONTH),
 now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH))

in showDialog() method.

You forgot to initialize Calendar myCalendar; on onCreateView()

 myCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();

Answer 3

You are using the instance of myCalendar which isn't initialized. Try using now instead of myCalendar.

Answer 4

Inside fragments showdialog() method doesn't work. You can do that, setonclicklistener on from_date and call DatePickerDialog inside it. Do the other things same as you do in your activity class.. Hopefully that help you.
