I am using example for creating custom dialogs on dev.android.com.
See code below.
The problem is that second line is crashing application (fore close)
###### Context mContext = getApplicationContext();
I can make dialog to work if I replace line with
###### Context mContext = this;
My questions:
1) I have read somewhere that I shouldn't be using "this", that I
should be using getApplicationContext because context can be lost when
changing orientation or so... Should I? Not really even sure if I
understand what the context is...
2) in another example there is line MyActivity.this.finish(); (it is
located in onclick listener for YES button in AlertDialog) Android
doesn't know what is MyActivity. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Sorry, absolute beginner.
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
Context mContext = getApplicationContext();
Dialog dialog = new Dialog(mContext);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog);
dialog.setTitle("Custom Dialog");
TextView text = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setText("Hello, this is a custom dialog!");
ImageView image = (ImageView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.image);
image.setImageResource(R.drawable.android);
}
