Cannot create AlertDialog: AppCompat error

Question

I am trying to create an AlertDialog like this:

counterButton.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onLong         


        

Answer 1

Since your theme is related to your Activity, you must pass it as the context to AlertDialog.Builder - getApplicationContext() has no theme attached to it which is why you are getting an error.
