android - Error non-default constructors in fragments

Question

I am dealing with maps apiv2. And I am getting the following error while coding for Dialog Fragment class.

Error : Avoid non-default constructors in fragments: use a default constructor plus Fragment#setArguments(Bundle) instead:

This is the code :

public PlaceDialogFragment(){
    super();
}

public PlaceDialogFragment(Place place, DisplayMetrics dm){
    super();
    this.mPlace = place;
    this.mMetrics = dm;
}

Any help wud be appreciated..

Revised: This is the whole code...I m kind of a newbie and never before dealt with fragments..I was going through a maps tut and found this..can you elaborate now wat u were trying to explain..

if you like to be out of rules just do next

@SuppressLint("ValidFragment")
public PlaceDialogFragment(Place place, DisplayMetrics dm){
        super();
        this.mPlace = place;
        this.mMetrics = dm;
    }
