How to show alertdialog when clicking on button in

Question

I have tried the following code ..

            btnRemoveItem.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(View arg0) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    Bundle b = new Bundle();
                    b.putLong("index", item.id);


                    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext());
                    builder.setTitle("Are you sure you ?");
                    builder.setMessage("Are you suer you want to remove this item from the cart?");
                    builder.setPositiveButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                            dialog.cancel();
                        }

                    });
                    builder.setNegativeButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

                        }
                    });
                    Dialog dd= builder.create();
                    dd.show();

                }

Answer 1

AlertDialogs can only be created using Activity contexts, so getApplicationContext() will not work. Instead, add the following global variable to your Activity file:

Context mContext;

And then add the following to your onCreate():

mContext = this;

Now, change:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext());

to

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);

Answer 2

You're using getApplicationContext() when you should be using the activity context use SearchActivity.this instead
