I have all the following code in my onCreate() method. Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Hello World!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); AlertDialog.Builder b = new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext ());
[Dialog configuration] b.show(); While the Toast message gets displayed right away, the AlertDialog won't. Instead there is a runtime error. Like I said, if you replace the "getApplicationContext()" with "this", it works flawlessly. On 10 Nov., 20:44, Justin Anderson <[email protected]> wrote: > That's interesting.
