DatePickerDialog issue with fragments

Question

I have a fragment with editText that is meant to open a date picker. I have done everything seemingly correctly, however I can't figure out why I get the following error.

It has something to do with the fact that I'm working with a fragment.

Could you please help with this error?

EditProfileFragment.java

import android.app.DatePickerDialog;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.drawable.ColorDrawable;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;

import java.util.Calendar;

import androidx.annotation.Nullable;

import androidx.fragment.app.Fragment;

public class EditProfileFragment extends Fragment {

  //Initializing
  private TextInputEditText mDisplayDate;
  private DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener;

  @Override
  public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_editprofile, container, false);

    //EditText
    mDisplayDate = view.findViewById(R.id.etDateOfBirth);

    //Date picker dialog box
    mDisplayDate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View view) {
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
        int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH);
        int day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);

        DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(
          requireContext(),
          android.R.style.Theme_DeviceDefault_Dialog_MinWidth,
          mDateSetListener,
          year, month, day);

        dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
        dialog.show();
      }
    });

    mDateSetListener = new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {
      @Override
      public void onDateSet(DatePicker datePicker, int year, int month, int day) {
        month = month + 1;
        String date = month + "/" + day + "/" + year;
        mDisplayDate.setText(date);
      }
    };
    return view;
  }
}

Answer 1

Use getapplicationcontext() and remove Edittextprofilefragment.this

Answer 2

It just tells you that the first parameter of the DatePickerDialog constructor is not as supposed to be; where you put a Fragment, while it expects a context, so replace below line

    DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(
      EditProfileFragment.this,
      android.R.style.Theme_DeviceDefault_Dialog_MinWidth,
      mDateSetListener,
      year, month, day);

with

    DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(
      requireContext(),
      android.R.style.Theme_DeviceDefault_Dialog_MinWidth,
      mDateSetListener,
      year, month, day);
