I'm not sure how to reproduce the problem, but it is probably safer to use the Actvity's build-in dialog methods to manage dialogs...I would change the code to use the following built-in activity methods:
onCreateDialog() - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#onCreateDialog%28int,%20android.os.Bundle%29 onPrepareDialog() - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#onPrepareDialog%28int,%20android.app.Dialog,%20android.os.Bundle%29 showDialog() - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#showDialog%28int%29 dismissDialog() - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#dismissDialog%28int%29 removeDialog() - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#removeDialog%28int%29 Thanks, Justin Anderson MagouyaWare Developer http://sites.google.com/site/magouyaware On Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 5:22 AM, hoyski <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm getting a few reports in the Market of my users experiencing a > WindowManager$BadTokenException from an AlertBuilder.Builder.show() > call.
