Android ‘Unable to add window — token null is not for an application’ exception

by

I’m guessing – are you trying to create Dialog with an application context? Something like this:

new Dialog(getApplicationContext());

This is wrong. You need to use an Activity context.

You have to try like:

new Dialog(YourActivity.this);
