Bad window token, you cannot show a dialog before an Activity is created or after it's hidden

Question

I am using an AppIntro library in my app.

It has 3 slides. I want to ask the user something when the third slide is shown. To achieve that I am using material dialogs by afollestad.

My code in the AppIntro Activity looks like that:

@Override
    public void onNextPressed() {
        if(this.pager.getCurrentItem() == 2) {
            MaterialDialog dialog = new MaterialDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext())
                    .title("QR Code scannen")
                    .content("Möchtest du den QR Code scannen oder selbst eingeben?")
                    .positiveText("eingeben")
                    .negativeText("scannen")
                    .onPositive(new MaterialDialog.SingleButtonCallback() {
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(@NonNull MaterialDialog dialog, @NonNull DialogAction which) {
                            Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), RegistrationActivity.class);
                            startActivity(intent);
                        }
                    })
                    .onNegative(new MaterialDialog.SingleButtonCallback() {
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(@NonNull MaterialDialog dialog, @NonNull DialogAction which) {
                            // TODO
                        }
                    })
                    .show();
        }
    } 

Running the App I get the following issue when I slide to the third slide:

com.afollestad.materialdialogs.MaterialDialog$DialogException:

I do not really understand the problem. Because the AppIntro Activity is already loaded and I expect it to show a dialog when a specific fragment is shown.

How can I achieve to show a dialog when a specific slide is shown?

Answer 1

MaterialDialog dialog = new MaterialDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext())

I suppose you need to pass the Activity instance here, not the application context.
