Issue Adding Android Dialog
so I am currently working on a basic event organiser, it will store events for a convention and allow the user to store the events they're interested in.
However I am having issues, as i want to add a dialog to each buttons press so it will display the events information and give the user the option if they want to add it or not.
The issue i am having with the code is the following, which occours onclick.
android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not for an application
Below is the code for the eventbutton itself which is displayed on screen
public class EventButton extends Button
{
public Button button = this;
public Event event;
public String eventHost;
public String eventName;
public String eventLocation;
public Calendar eventDate;
private LinearLayout screen;
public EventButton(Context context , Event pEvent){
super(context);
eventDate = pEvent.eventDate;
eventName = pEvent.eventName;
eventHost = pEvent.eventHost;
eventLocation = pEvent.eventLocation;
event = pEvent;
setOnClick();
this.setText(eventName + "\n " + eventHost);
}
public void setOnClick() {
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
int timeTilEvent =getTimeDifference();
int day = eventDate.get(eventDate.DAY_OF_MONTH);
int month=eventDate.get(eventDate.MONTH);
int year=eventDate.get(eventDate.YEAR);
int hour=eventDate.get(eventDate.HOUR_OF_DAY);
int minute=eventDate.get(eventDate.MINUTE);
String minutestring=""+ minute;
if(minutestring.length()==1){
minutestring = "0"+minute;
}
String dateOutput= day + "/" + month +"/" + year + "\n " + hour + ":" + minutestring;
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getContext());
builder.setMessage("Event:" + eventName + "\n Host:" + eventHost + "\n Location: " + eventLocation + "\n When: " + dateOutput);
builder.setTitle("do you wish to add this event to your watch list?");
if(!FileManager.eventList.contains(event)) {
builder.setPositiveButton("add interest", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
FileManager.writeToFile(new Event(eventHost, eventName, eventLocation, eventDate), getContext());
FileManager.readFromFile(getContext());
}
});
}
else if(FileManager.eventList.contains(event)) {
builder.setPositiveButton("remove interest", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
FileManager.eventList.remove(event);
FileManager.writeToFile(new Event(eventHost, eventName, eventLocation, eventDate), getContext());
FileManager.readFromFile(getContext());
}
});
}
builder.setPositiveButton("cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
}
});
AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();
Main class (showing how the buttons are created)
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public Calendar setupDate(int year, int month, int day , int hour, int minute){
return new GregorianCalendar(year,month,day,hour,minute);
}
ArrayList<EventButton> buttons = new ArrayList<EventButton>();
public void addButtonToList(String pHost, String pName,String pEventLocation, Calendar pDate){
Event event = new Event(pHost, pName, pEventLocation, pDate);
buttons.add(new EventButton(getBaseContext(),event));
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.content_main);
addButtonToList("Host ", " Event", "location", setupDate(2016, 04, 03, 10, 00));
addButtonToList("Host ", " Event", "location", setupDate(2016, 04, 03, 10, 00));
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.LinearLayout1);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ActionBar.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
for(int count=0;count < buttons.size();count++){
if(buttons.get(count) != null) {
buttons.get(count).AddButtonToScreen(ll, lp);
}
}
}
Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks

You're using the Base Context when you should be using the Activity Context.
Instead of using getBaseContext(), just use this for the Activity Context:
public void addButtonToList(String pHost, String pName,String pEventLocation, Calendar pDate){
Event event = new Event(pHost, pName, pEventLocation, pDate);
buttons.add(new EventButton(this, event));
}
