Ah, look at your code:

dialog = new CustomCalcDialog(this);
        dialog.setTitle("Enter Shipping %");
        activeTextView = shippingPercent;
        dialog.show();
        dialog = null;
        break;

You set dialog to null: that's why you are getting the error. Do this:

dialog = new CustomCalcDialog(this);
        dialog.setTitle("Enter Shipping %");
        activeTextView = shippingPercent;
        break;
