Problem creating a custom dialog

Question

I have a problem creating a custom dialog. But I don\'t find the failure. Hopefully anybody can help me ...

protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    Di         


        

Answer 1

I found out, that the dialog needs to be created with

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);

and not

Context mContext = getApplicationContext();
Dialog dialog = new Dialog(mContext);

I don't exactly know why. Perhaps anybody can explain it to me?
