How to call getSupportFragmentManager() from a fragment?

I want to use a custom date and time picker in my code for that i created a seperate package and put all the date and time picker classes there. The code is running smoothly if i'm running it from main activity but when i want to call from a fragment it's not recognizing getSupportFragmentManager() method the call which i'm making from my fragment is :

SimpleDateTimePicker simpleDateTimePicker = SimpleDateTimePicker.make(
            "Set Date & Time Title",
            new Date(),
            this,
            getSupportFragmentManager()
    );

    simpleDateTimePicker.show();

Please help, thank you guys.

looks like SimpleDateTimePicker class is your own class, which accepts only android.app.FragmentManager, not android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager. So you can use that class only with API11 or higher. If you want to use android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager, you need to edit your SimpleDateTimePicker to accept that android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager in constructor

EDIT:

ok, there are 2 different classes: android.app.FragmentManager and android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager. The second one is a compatibility implementation of the first one. Most apps use the second, as it allowed to be used before API 11. And the class from your link uses the first one. There are two ways to fix it:
1st - you start using android.app.FragmentManager instead of android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager. It will cause app work only above api 11.
2nd way is changing code of SimpleDateTimePicker to use android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager. It is more correct way I think.

Firstly check your frgaments extends from android.support.v4.app.Fragment or android.app.Fragment .If it is android.app.Fragment then call getActivity().getFragmentManager(); or if it extends from support frgament then call getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();

You don't.

You need to call getChildFragmentManager() from the Fragment. Attempting to call getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager() will throw an error.
