saved instance bundle is null in onCreateView for DialogFragment

I am saving a key value pair before displaying the warning dialog. However the onCreateDialog() for the dialog is called with a null bundle. Is there something extra I need to do to pass the bundle to the dialog?

MyDialogFragment testFrag= new MyDialogFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putString("car-type", "Audi");
testFrag.setArguments(args);
testFrag.show(getFragmentManager(), "info");

The setArguments bundle is retrieved using getArguments.

The savedInstanceState bundle that is a parameter of the onCreateDialog method is the bundle populated in onSaveInstanceState.

These 2 are completely unrelated.

You can retrieve the arguments via DialogFragment.getArguments().

The savedInstanceState is only used when a configuration change occurred. It is being filled in onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) and later passed to the new DialogFragment in onCreate() and onCreateView(). The first time a Fragment or Activity gets created it is null.
