/**
 * <p>Provides a usable {@link DatePickerDialog} wrapped as a {@link DialogFragment},
 * using the compatibility package v4. Its main advantage is handling Issue 34833 
 * automatically for you.</p>
 * 
 * <p>Current implementation (because I wanted that way =) ):</p>
 * 
 * <ul>
 * <li>Only two buttons, a {@code BUTTON_POSITIVE} and a {@code BUTTON_NEGATIVE}.
 * <li>Buttons labeled from {@code android.R.string.ok} and {@code android.R.string.cancel}.
 * </ul>
 * 
 * <p><strong>Usage sample:</strong></p>
 * 
 * <pre>class YourActivity extends Activity implements OnDateSetListener
 * 
 * // ...
 * 
 * Bundle b = new Bundle();
 * b.putInt(DatePickerDialogFragment.YEAR, 2012);
 * b.putInt(DatePickerDialogFragment.MONTH, 6);
 * b.putInt(DatePickerDialogFragment.DATE, 17);
 * DialogFragment picker = new DatePickerDialogFragment();
 * picker.setArguments(b);
 * picker.show(getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager(), "fragment_date_picker");</pre>

        // whenever it reads the listener that was passed here. >>> This seems to be

two days of trying to deal with this problem. It turns out it's not me, but the Android. Thanks for the solution
