Android studio dialogFragment screen dims but doesn't show - android-studio

Question

I am making an app in android studio using java. I have made a dialogfragment for the setting option int the overflow menu. It was working just fine before but now when I click settings, the screen dims and nothing happens. I can click on the phone screen and the screen will undim and the app will continue working like normal and it throws no error in log cat. I set a log cat message after in inflater runs and it seems to be executing correctly. I hav no idea why it was working before but now it is not. Here is my code:
dialogFragment class:
package com.dicegame1;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Switch;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AlertDialog;
import androidx.fragment.app.DialogFragment;
public class SettingsMenu extends DialogFragment {
Switch doubles;
Switch triples;
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState){
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
LayoutInflater inflater = getActivity().getLayoutInflater();
View dialogView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.settings_menu,null);
doubles = dialogView.findViewById(R.id.switchDoublesBonus);
triples = dialogView.findViewById(R.id.switchTriplesBonus);
Button save = dialogView.findViewById(R.id.btnSave);
Button cancel = dialogView.findViewById(R.id.btnCancel);
Log.d("load", "dialog load");
cancel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
dismiss();
Log.d("dis", "dismiss");
}
});
save.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
MainActivity callingActivity = (MainActivity) getActivity();
Dice player = callingActivity.sendPlayer();
player.setDoubles(doubles.isChecked());
player.setTriples(triples.isChecked());
Log.d("s", "save");
dismiss();
}
});
return builder.create();
}
}
here is calling methods in main activity:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.overflow_menu, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item){
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.settings) {
SettingsMenu d = new SettingsMenu();
Log.d("1", "Dialog created");
d.show(getSupportFragmentManager(),"");
Log.d("2", "Show called");
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
here is xml for settings menu:

I want to reiterate that things were working correctly before and I have reverted all changes made and its still not working. Any ideas??
