I got the answer for the same:-

Include the following methods in your Fragment.

public void selectTimeToDisplay(EditText edText) {
        DialogFragment dialogFragment = new DisplayTimeFragment(edText);
        dialogFragment.show(getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager(), "DatePicker");
    }

public void setSelectedTime(String hourOfDay,String minute, EditText edText) {
    edText.setText(hourOfDay + ":" + minute);
}

Define DisplayTimeFragment as a Inner class in your Fragment:-

public class DisplayTimeFragment extends DialogFragment implements TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener {
        EditText edText;
        public DisplayTimeFragment(EditText edText){
            this.edText = edText;
        }

        @Override
        public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            // Use the current time as the default values for the picker
            final Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
            int hour = c.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
            int minute = c.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
            return new TimePickerDialog(getActivity(), this, hour, minute,
                    DateFormat.is24HourFormat(getActivity()));
        }
        @Override
        public void onTimeSet(TimePicker view, int hourOfDay, int minute) {
            String sHrs, sMins;
            if(minute<10){
                sMins = "0"+minute;
            }else{
                sMins = String.valueOf(minute);
            }
            if(hourOfDay<10){
                sHrs = "0"+hourOfDay;
            }else{
                sHrs = String.valueOf(hourOfDay);
            }
            setSelectedTime(sHrs,sMins, edText);

        }
    }

Now, Write the following code in the onClickListener of your Edittext.

as,

edStartTime.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                selectTimeToDisplay(edStartTime);
            }
        });

Note:- For Smooth functioning, Set focusable to false in the xml of the Edittext.

Bingo.. It will work as charms for any no of EditText now...
