    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to display a couple of dialogs when a button is pressed, one after the other, and can't get the second to display. The first one is simply a development stub to replace a validation process during development...</p> <pre><code>@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { &lt;snip&gt; btnLogin.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { &lt;snip&gt; VerifyLogin(userName, password); } }); } </code></pre> <p>...and...</p> <pre><code>private void VerifyLogin(String userName, String password) { boolean ok = false; if ((userName.length() &gt; 0) &amp;&amp; (password.length() &gt; 0)) ok = DevStub(); // &lt;- Mimics server validation, allows dev. to choose success or not &lt;snip&gt; } </code></pre> <p>...and...</p> <pre><code>private boolean DevStub() { new AlertDialog.Builder(this) .setTitle("DEVELOPMENT") .setMessage("Login: Successful or Not") .setPositiveButton("Successful", &lt;snip&gt; ) .setNegativeButton("Not Successful", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) { new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext()) .setTitle("Invalid Username/Password") .setMessage("Try Again or Recover your password") .setPositiveButton( &lt;snip&gt; ) .setNegativeButton( &lt;snip&gt; ) .show(); } }) .show(); return success; } </code></pre> <p>As I say, this is only while I develop the interface, then the DevStub() will be replaced by a real login validation but I'd like to understand what I've got wrong here. When I tap the "Not Successful" button i simply get an exception.</p> <p>I'm thinking it has something to do with the getApplicationContext() in the inner dialog but, then again, I don't know - any suggestions, please?</p> <p>Logcat:</p> <pre><code>E/SKIA(12620): FimgApiStretch:stretch failed D/AndroidRuntime(12620): Shutting down VM W/dalvikvm(12620): threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x40c581f8) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): FATAL EXCEPTION: main E/AndroidRuntime(12620): android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not for an application E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at android.view.ViewRootImpl.setView(ViewRootImpl.java:706) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at android.view.WindowManagerImpl.addView(WindowManagerImpl.java:316) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at android.view.WindowManagerImpl.addView(WindowManagerImpl.java:218) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at android.view.WindowManagerImpl$CompatModeWrapper.addView(WindowManagerImpl.java:143) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at android.app.Dialog.show(Dialog.java:278) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at android.app.AlertDialog$Builder.show(AlertDialog.java:932) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at com.mtbsoft.wud.LoginActivity$2.onClick(LoginActivity.java:62) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at com.android.internal.app.AlertController$ButtonHandler.handleMessage(AlertController.java:168) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:137) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4514) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:511) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:993) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:760) E/AndroidRuntime(12620): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) D/dalvikvm(12620): GC_CONCURRENT freed 148K, 4% free 13223K/13639K, paused 2ms+4ms </code></pre>
