I am building a game which contains a GLSurfaceView. This GLSurfaceView receives all touch events and based on that game proceeds. Now based on certain conditions i want to show certain dialog box. Say game ends on a double tap, I want to show a dialog box saying if user wants to restart. But i guess these events are not handled in UI thread so when I am trying to create dialog box my app is crashing. How can I achieve this ?
Code which is creating this dialog:
Context ctx = MainActivity.getContext();
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(ctx);
builder.setTitle(ctx.getResources().getString(R.string.ThemeSelectionDialogTitle));
builder.setCancelable(true);
final CharSequence[] items={"Theme 1", "Theme 2"};
builder.setSingleChoiceItems(items,-1, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
{
if("Theme 1".equals(items[which]))
{
Log.i(LOGUtil.LOG_TAG, "Theme 1 Selected");
}
else if("Theme 2".equals(items[which]))
{
Log.i(LOGUtil.LOG_TAG, "Theme 2 Selected");
}
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
//now that the dialog is set up, it's time to show it
AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
alertDialog.show();

Use the Activity instance as your context rather than a static context, like that application context. The dialog is bound to the lifecycle of your Activity so it needs the instance rather than a static which may no longer be valid.
