StackOverFlow Error with ProgressDialog.show() inside AsyncTask While Running Robolectric tests

Question

Note: Already visited this link but not helpful.

While running Robolectric Junit tests, I am getting StackOverFlow Error caused by

ProgressDialog.show()

Call made inside AsyncTask.

I have following kind of activity:

public abstract class TransactionFragmentActivity extends FragmentActivity {

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

        setContentView(R.layout.transction_layout);             
        SetUpService setup = new SetUpService();
        setup.execute();
    }

    private class SetUpService extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean> {

        private ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(TransactionFragmentActivity.this);

        /** progress dialog to show user that the backup is processing. */
        /** application context. */
        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
            SetUpService.this.dialog.setMessage("Please wait");
            SetUpService.this.dialog.setCancelable(false);
            SetUpService.this.dialog.show();
        }

        @Override
        protected Boolean doInBackground(final String... args) {
            // Setting data 
            Log.d(TAG,"doInBackground...");

            fetchData(); //some method doing work
            return true;
        }


        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(final Boolean success) {
            if (dialog != null && dialog.isShowing()) {
                dialog.dismiss();
            }
        }
    }
}

following is the stacktrace:

and where is your `super.onPreExecute();` and `super.onPostExecute(success);` super clause. — SRB Bans, Nov 30 '15 at 14:34
@sourabhbans, initializing the ProgressDialog in onPreExecute did not work, super.onPreExecute(); and super.onPostExecute(success); is also not helping, still getting StackOverFlow error. — Shridutt Kothari, Dec 01 '15 at 06:30

private ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(getActivity());

protected void onPreExecute() { 
    dialog.setMessage("Please wait");
    dialog.setCancelable(false);
    dialog.show();
}

or

Activity act = (TransactionFragmentActivity) this;

private ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(act);

protected void onPreExecute() { 
    dialog.setMessage("Please wait");
    dialog.setCancelable(false);
    dialog.show();
}

Think it will work. Check it out and let me know.

Inside SetUpService (AsyncTask) getActivity() is not allowed as per compiler, and also casting of TransactionFragmentActivity to Activity didn't work. – Shridutt Kothari Dec 01 '15 at 06:28
okay, I am pretty sure that passing the Context to Progress dialog is the problem. and I don't have answer for that. please look into that area. your Async task was fine. – HourGlass Dec 01 '15 at 06:31
ok, but the code is working in Android Dev Env, I am getting error in Robolectric Test case execution, on the call of dialog.show() method, so not sure how to resolve this. – Shridutt Kothari Dec 01 '15 at 06:36
