Opening AlertDialog inside Dialog Fragment

Question

I have a custom Dialog Fragment and I need to display an Alert dialog inside it.

Is it possible to do without closing the Dialog fragment?
When I do it with the context provided for the Dialog fragment it just closes the Dialog fragment and open the Alert dialog.

case R.id.deleteButton:
    new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
            .setTitle(context.getResources().getString(R.string.discard_changes))
            .setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
            .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.yes, (dialog, whichButton) -> {
                onItemClickListener.onItemClick(Device, DELETE_DOC);
                dismiss();
            })
            .setNegativeButton(android.R.string.no, null).show();
    break;

EDIT

As requested, the whole Dialog code:

public class InstallationDocumentDeviceAddFormDialog extends Dialog implements View.OnClickListener {

    private RecyclerView.Adapter mAdapter;
    private RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager;

Does this answer your question? [Android: Can i show multiple Dialogs one over another? Is there something like Dialog Z-Level?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10282927/android-can-i-show-multiple-dialogs-one-over-another-is-there-something-like-d) — Ricardo A., Dec 09 '19 at 12:50
The described behavior is not normal, and isn't really explainable with what's shown. I would mention that the `dismiss()` call you show in the given snippet is being called on the `DialogFragment` (likely inadvertently), but that won't close the `Fragment` until the `AlertDialog`'s button has been clicked. Please [edit] your question to provide a [mcve] that demonstrates the issue. — Mike M., Dec 09 '19 at 13:03
You're calling `dismiss();` at the end of `onClick()`. That's what's doing it. Showing a `Dialog`, anywhere, does not pause execution of your code. It will immediately continue, and in this case, is dismissing the `DialogFragment` right away. — Mike M., Dec 09 '19 at 13:17
@MikeM. well that was a foolish mistake on my behalf, sorry and thank you for noticing. — Richard, Dec 09 '19 at 13:22

First You Can Create Dialog Object and Use it in Any Click Event Like — Kishan Rathod, Dec 09 '19 at 12:55
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context,R.style.Theme_AppCompat_Dialog_Alert); dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT)); — Kishan Rathod, Dec 09 '19 at 12:56
Using View Object to create view : View view1 = context.getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.in_out_time_dialog, null); — Kishan Rathod, Dec 09 '19 at 12:57
So the trick is to create a new Dialog instead of using the Alerdialog itself? — Richard, Dec 09 '19 at 13:03
Or how is it different from just creating another AlertDialog on top of my Dialog? — Richard, Dec 09 '19 at 13:12
