BadTokenException on custom Dialog.show()

Question

Im trying to show a custom dialog and this runtime error pops up depending on the parameters I pass when calling my Confirmation dialog .show() method.

The error log is:

And this is the method setting up the dialogs on my controller.

    public void showDialogDesfazerAmizade(Usuario usuarioRemoverAdapter)
{

    usuarioRemover = usuarioRemoverAdapter;

    confirmacaoDesfazerAmizade = new Confirmacao(superContext,
            "Você deseja mesmo desfazer amizade com", "Desfazer amizade",
            usuarioRemover.getNome().toString());

    confirmacaoDesfazerAmizadeBtns = new ConfirmacaoBtns()
    {
        @Override
        public void positiveBtnClicked()
        {

            if (usuarioLogado != null
                    && usuarioLogado.getIdmoymer() != null
                    && usuarioRemover != null
                    && usuarioRemover.getIdmoymer() != null)
            {
                RemoveAmigoAsyncTask removeAmigoAsyncTask = new RemoveAmigoAsyncTask(
                        AmigosFragmentNovo.this, superContext, 0,
                        usuarioLogado.getIdmoymer(),
                        usuarioRemover.getIdmoymer(), usuarioRemover);
                removeAmigoAsyncTask
                        .executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR);
                listaAsyncTasks.add(removeAmigoAsyncTask);
            }

        }

        @Override
        public void negativeBtnClicked()
        {
            if (confirmacaoDesfazerAmizade != null
                    && confirmacaoDesfazerAmizade.isShowing())
            {
                confirmacaoDesfazerAmizade.dismiss();
            }
        }
    };

    confirmacaoDesfazerAmizade
            .setBtnsControl(confirmacaoDesfazerAmizadeBtns);

    if (confirmacaoDesfazerAmizade != null
            && !confirmacaoDesfazerAmizade.isShowing())
    {
        confirmacaoDesfazerAmizade.show();
    }

}

And this is the Confirmation custom dialog.

public class Confirmacao extends Dialog implements android.view.View.OnClickListener {

public Context c;
public Dialog d;
public LinearLayout acaoLL, cancelarLL, perguntaLL;
private String pergunta;
private String perguntaBold;
private String tituloAcao;

private ConfirmacaoBtns btnsControl;

private TextView acaoTV;
private TextView perguntaTV;
private TextView pergunta_boldTV;

public Confirmacao(Context context, String pergunta, String tituloAcao) 
{
    super(context);
    this.tituloAcao = tituloAcao;
    if(pergunta != null)
        this.pergunta = pergunta;
    this.c = context;
}   

public Confirmacao(Context context, String pergunta, String tituloAcao, String perguntaBold) 
{
    super(context);
    this.tituloAcao = tituloAcao;
    if(pergunta != null)
        this.pergunta = pergunta;
    if(perguntaBold != null)
        this.perguntaBold = perguntaBold;
    this.c = context;
}   

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.confirmacao);
    getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.R.color.transparent));  

    acaoLL = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.confirmacao_acao);
    cancelarLL = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.confirmacao_cancelar);
    perguntaLL = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.pergunta_layout);

    Typeface openSansRegular = Typeface.createFromAsset(c.getAssets(), Font.OPENSANS_REGULAR);
    Typeface openSansBold = Typeface.createFromAsset(c.getAssets(), Font.OPENSANS_BOLD);

    acaoTV = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.confirmacao_acao_tv);
    acaoTV.setTypeface(openSansRegular);

    perguntaTV = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.pergunta);
    perguntaTV.setTypeface(openSansRegular);

    pergunta_boldTV = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.pergunta_bold);

    if(perguntaBold != null)
    {   
        pergunta_boldTV.setTypeface(openSansRegular);
        pergunta_boldTV.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>" + (perguntaBold) + "</b>" + "?"));
    }else
        pergunta_boldTV.setVisibility(View.GONE);

    acaoTV.setTypeface(openSansRegular);
    perguntaTV.setTypeface(openSansRegular);

    if(this.tituloAcao!=null)
        acaoTV.setText(this.tituloAcao);
    if(this.pergunta!=null)
        perguntaTV.setText(this.pergunta);
    else
        perguntaLL.setVisibility(View.GONE);

    acaoLL.setOnClickListener(this);
    cancelarLL.setOnClickListener(this);

    showDialogOnScreenBottom();
}

private void showDialogOnScreenBottom() {
    Window window = getWindow();
    WindowManager.LayoutParams wlp = window.getAttributes();

    wlp.width = LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
    wlp.height = LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
    wlp.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM;
    wlp.flags &= ~WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND;
    window.setAttributes(wlp);      
}

public void setBtnsControl(ConfirmacaoBtns btnsControl) 
{
    this.btnsControl = btnsControl;
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) 
{
    switch (v.getId()) {
    case R.id.confirmacao_acao:
    {
        if(btnsControl!=null)
            btnsControl.positiveBtnClicked();
        dismiss();


        break;
    }
    case R.id.confirmacao_cancelar:
    {
        if(btnsControl!=null)
            btnsControl.negativeBtnClicked();
        dismiss();
        break;
    }
    default:
        break;
    }
    dismiss();
}

public void negativeButtonGone()
{
    cancelarLL.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}

public interface ConfirmacaoBtns
{
    public void positiveBtnClicked();
    public void negativeBtnClicked();

}   
}

Answer 1

The issue is with your Context passing into confirmation dialogue.Try this

confirmacaoDesfazerAmizade = new Confirmacao(CurrentActivity.this,
            "Você deseja mesmo desfazer amizade com", "Desfazer amizade",
            usuarioRemover.getNome().toString());

For fragments getActivity() instead CurrentActivity.this

Answer 2

The issue was the Context as Fede Bucich and Don Chakkappan answered, but it wasnt possible to reference the activity by its name as 'ActivityName.this' because the method is inside a fragment. So the right answer is to use getActivity() instead of Context:

confirmacaoDesfazerAmizade = new Confirmacao(getActivity(),
        "Você deseja mesmo desfazer amizade com", "Desfazer amizade",
        usuarioRemover.getNome().toString());

Answer 3

I don't know what your superContext variable is, but try sending MyActivityName.this as the Context.

You could also try assigning MyActivityName.this to your superContext variable when your activity starts up.
