Alert dialog in child class not working in Android

Question

AlertDialog.Builder builder1 = new AlertDialog.Builder(getBaseContext());

OR

AlertDialog.Builder builder1 = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);

OR

AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();

Any of above code does not work if I write this code in any child class of main activity class, application get crashed.

If I write this code under onCreate method, then it works fine.

If there is a crash, at least make the effort to post the logcat. — shkschneider, Apr 30 '14 at 08:11

Giving an Activity should work:

new AlertDialog.Builder(YourActivity.this).create();

Try This Code :

Activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                            public void run() {
                                    AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
                            }
                        });
