Android AlertDialog and PreferenceActivity

Question

I created a PreferenceActivity with a Custom Title. In the title I added a button. In the button click event I added:

imageClearCache.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
              public void onClick(View v) { 
....


    new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext())
                      .setTitle("Alert!!")
                      .setMessage("Text...")
                      .setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) { 
                                // continue with delete
                            }
                         }).show();
    }

I get the error: ...Unable to add window -- token null is not for an application

Any idea?

Best regards

Use the normal context (in this case your activity) provided by the view being clicked instead of the application context.

new AlertDialog.Builder(v.getContext())

There is no view in my case. What do I do? – Martin Erlic Aug 28 '16 at 23:16
