android prompt user's input using a dialog

Question

I would like to prompt the user to give me input in my android application using a dialog. this is what I have found:

AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDi         


        

Answer 1

When I ran your code in a new project, it worked fine. So probably "this" that you are using

• is not an activity
• is not the activity in view i.e. there might be a parent activity. If it is the child of some activity, use getParent() instead of "this".
• is null

Hope this helps.
