Upon reviewing the docs in android I've noticed the classes: Dialog and DialogFragment(standard, v4). The Tutorials seem to use the terms interchangeably, thus i'm confused as hell about their differences.

Tell me if i'm right with my understanding: a DialogFragment, is in essence, a wrapper that handle life-cycle events, while returning an Object of Type Dialog, which is the actual UI Object?
