can't instantiate class... no empty constructor

Question

I want to show an alertdialog when i select a list item. The problem is the class instantiation .Logcat shows ...can't instantiate class .. no empty constructor. Thanks in advance

Part of the class where i build a BaseAdapter to show the list

protected void onPostExecute(ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> result) {
            super.onPostExecute(result);
            // Dismiss the progress dialog
            if (pDialog.isShowing())
                pDialog.dismiss();

            final ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listViewDromoIdiot);

            final class Adapter1 extends BaseAdapter{


                public ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> itinlist;

                public Adapter1( ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> itinlist) {
                    super();
                    this.itinlist = itinlist;
                }
                @Override
                public int getCount() {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    return itinlist.size();
                }

                @Override
                public Object getItem(int position) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    return itinlist.get(position);
                }

                @Override
                public long getItemId(int position) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    return 0;
                }

                @Override
                public View getView(final int position,
                        View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
                    if (convertView == null) {
                        LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
                        convertView = (RelativeLayout) inflater
                                .inflate(R.layout.list_item51, parent,
                                        false);
                    }


                    int pos = position +1;
                    String posi = String.valueOf(pos);


                    TextView number_n = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.number_n2);
                    number_n.setText(posi);

                    TextView depDate2 = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.depDate2);
                    depDate2.setText(itinlist.get(position).get("depDate1"));

                    TextView depTime1 = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.depTime1);
                    depTime1.setText(itinlist.get(position).get("depTime1"));

                    list.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

CustomDialogClass

public class CustomDialogClass extends Dialog implements

Answer 1

Try this:

list.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,int position, long id) {

CustomDialogClass dialog = new CustomDialogClass(EditRouteIdiot.this);
  dialog.show();
 }
});

Answer 2

You should instantiate your dialog like this :

CustomDialogClass dialog = new CustomDialogClass(EditRouteIdiot.this);
dialog.show();

You would use intents to trigger activities most of the time.

Answer 3

Dialogs are not established in the same manner you do an activity. I suggest using a builder or the following.

CustomDialogClass yourDialog = new CustomDialogClass(EditRouteIdiot.this);
yourDialog.show();

Make sure to manage dismissing the instance of the CustomDialogClass too.
