Android - onCreateDialog crashes when returning DatePickerDialog

Question

I'm currently trying to raise a DatePickerDialog whenever a certain EditText is clicked. However, every time I click the EditText, the application crashes. Here's the relevant code and LogCat.

The EditText and its OnClickListener:

    addBirth.setClickable(true);
    addBirth.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID);
        }
    });

The onCreateDialog method and the DateSetListener:

@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    switch (id) {
    case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
        DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(getApplicationContext(), mDateSetListener, mYear, mMonth, mDay);
        return dialog;
    }
    return null;
}

protected DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener mDateSetListener = 
        new DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {

            @Override
            public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
                    int dayOfMonth) {
                mYear = year;
                mMonth = monthOfYear;
                mDay = dayOfMonth;
                updateDisplay();

            }
        };
private void updateDisplay() {
    addBirth.setText(
            new StringBuilder()
                    .append(mMonth + 1).append("-")
                    .append(mDay).append("-")
                    .append(mYear).append(" "));
}

And here's the LogCat:

Answer 1

Never use getApplicationContext() for creating dialogs.

Try this.

DatePickerDialog dialog = new DatePickerDialog(YourActivity.this, mDateSetListener, mYear, mMonth, mDay);
