I ran into this issue recently. Googling around for the error led me to this threadhttp://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/7a648edddccf6f7d# . Specifically, the response from Dianne: One cause of this error may be trying to display an applicationwindow/dialog through

I ran into this before. Are you seeing token null is not for an application in the log cat? Might be related to this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/7a648edddccf6f7d Specifically, this quote from Dianne: One cause of this error may be trying to

I should mention that the runtime error does not occur in this line here AlertDialog.Builder b = new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext ()); but when calling b.show() later on. According to DDMS, the WindowManager crashes because it is trying to add a new Window (the dialog) with a

This may seem weird, but try doing this: b.create().show(); I have never actually used the show method on the Builder class (I didn't realize it existed) and have never had any problems displaying a dialog. -- There are only 10

I tried b.create().show(); but that did not solve the problem. This is very strange. If I can use 'getApplicationContext()' and 'this' interchangeably when dealing with Toast messages, I assume that those two are in fact pretty much the same. Now, on the other hand, when dealing with that
