Android IllegalArgumentException for dismissDialog

Question

I have used following code for download some files from our internet.

public class SplashDownload extends Activity {

    public static final int PROGRESS_DIALOG         


        

Answer 1

Does your progress dialog actually show up?
Instead of dismissing it you could try using removeDialog(PROGRESS_DIALOG); to have it cleaned up.

Answer 2

When you do the

mProgressDialog.show();

during

protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id)

you already set the ID for the Dialog to some random or null value. So when you call to dismiss it, the Application thinks you are crazy.

Answer 3

See if this thread helps - AlerDialog is not created - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Activity#onCreateDialog did not create a dialog for id X
