There are two ways to call from Fragment to Activity that hosts the Fragment:

1. Simply casting to HostActivity

   ((HostActivity) getActivity()).methodInActivity();
   

2. Use interface in Fragment as listener, HostActivity implements the listener:

   private SuperListener hostActivity;
   
   //In Fragment, define interfce
   public interface SuperListener{
       //for example a confirm dialog
       void getDialogOk(View dialogView);
   }
   
   //in constructor, get listener instance from HostActivity
   public YourDialogFragment(SuperListener hostActivity)
   {
      this.hostActivity = hostActivity;
   }
   
   //when `Ok` clicked
   hostActivity.getDialogOk(dialogView);
   

Hope this is clear.
