Android Custom Dialog

Consider the pattern:

private static final int MY_DIALOG= 0;

protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    Dialog dialog;
    switch(id) {
        case MY_DIALOG:
            dialog= getInstanceMyDialog();
            break;
        default:
            dialog = null;
    }
    return dialog;
}

private Dialog getInstanceMyDialog() {
    final Dialog d= new Dialog(this); //<=====THIS
    d.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog);
    d.setTitle("Custom Dialog");
    return d;
}

This worked for me: problem-creating-a-custom-dialog

Use this instead of getApplicationContext() when instantiating the dialog:

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
