Is DatePickerFragment hosted on CrimeFragment or CrimePagerActivity?

Hello,
The book mentions that DatePickerFragment is hosted on CrimePagerActivity (Page 229).
but in code the DatePickerFragment is launched from CrimeFragment when the user presses the date button :

        mDateButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            FragmentManager manager = getFragmentManager();
            DatePickerFragment dialog = DatePickerFragment.newInstance(mCrime.getDate());
            dialog.setTargetFragment(CrimeFragment.this, REQUEST_DATE);
            dialog.show(manager, DIALOG_DATE);
        }
    });

This questions is triggered by the use of getActivity() in onCreateDialg() implementation in DatePickerFragmment which according to my understanding is used to pass the hosting activity of a fragment as a context. to whom it is referring here? an explanation would be great.

 .
 return new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity()).....
