Android: Dialog Fragment and Backstack problems

Question

So lets say I have the following Fragments:

Fragment1 Fragment2 DialogFragment Fragment3 Fragment4

Lets say I go to the following Fragments, each fragmetn is added to the back stack:

Fragment1 -> Fragment2 -> DialogFragment -> Fragment3 -> Fragment4

If I click the BACK button this should normally go to Fragment3 but instead DialogFragment is displayed.

Here are the Fragment Transactions I used:

Fragment1 -> Fragment2

FragmentTransaction ft = mActivity.getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.replace(R.id.mainContentHolder, new Fragment2(), "Fragment2");
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();

Fragment2 -> DialogFragment

FragmentTransaction ft2 = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft2.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.flipp_in,R.anim.flipp_static);
ft2.add(R.id.mainContentHolder, new DialogFragment(), "DialogFragment");
ft2.addToBackStack(null);   
ft2.commit();
ft2.hide(Fragment1.this);

DialogFragment -> Fragment3

FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction(); 
ft.replace(R.id.mainContentHolder, new Fragment3(), "Fragment3");
ft.addToBackStack(null);
ft.commit();

Fragment3 -> Fragment4

FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();                                           
ft.replace(R.id.mainContentHolder, new Fragment4(), "Fragment4");
ft.addToBackStack(null);                        
ft.commit();

Again the problem is that when I'm in Fragment4 and click the BACK button the DialogFragment is displayed instead of Fragment3.

Please use fragment manager of your Activity in Fragments when showing DialogFragment to avoid restoring it from back stack.
