Android Studio – Can't override onCreateDialog method of androidx.fragment.app.Dialog

When I try to override the onCreateDialog method of androidx.fragment.app.DialogFragment I get the following error: ‘onCreateDialog overrides nothing’.

According to developer.android.com I should be able to override it as it’s defined as open.

I am using the following code

import android.app.AlertDialog
import android.app.Dialog
import android.content.DialogInterface
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.fragment.app.DialogFragment


class MyDialogFragment : DialogFragment() {

    override fun onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState: Bundle): Dialog {
        return activity?.let {
            val builder = AlertDialog.Builder(it)
            builder.setMessage("Yes or no?")
                .setPositiveButton("yes",
                    DialogInterface.OnClickListener { dialog, id ->
                        // yes
                    })
                .setNegativeButton("no",
                    DialogInterface.OnClickListener { dialog, id ->
                        // no
                    })
            builder.create()
        } ?: throw IllegalStateException("Activity cannot be null")
    }
}

What’s going on here?
