Showing an activity as a dialog

Question

Here is the activity that i want to be a dialog :

public class TrainerBookingDialogActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_trainer_booking_dialog);

    }



  <activity android:name="com.clearmindai.trainer.module.bookdialog.TrainerBookingDialogActivity"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.Dialog"></activity>

I'm calling it something like this :

  public static  void showBookedDialog(Context context) {
        Intent intent=new Intent(getApplicationContext(), TrainerBookingDialogActivity.class);
        context.startActivity(intent);
        //show dialog
    }

but the error show me this:

You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 }
 @Override
 public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle s 
 avedInstanceState) {
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_my_custom_dialog, container, false); 
   // Do all the stuff to initialize your custom view
