Bitmap not Showing in Dialog

Question

I have an issue with setting a bitmap in an Alert dialog. I created a barcode in another class and I want to show the barcode in a dialog. It keeps showing an error. From the logs, the barcode is being created successfully. The problem keeps pointing to the qrCodeImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap); line. Please help.

This is the method in the activity.

public void showQRCode(final Bundle bundle){
    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                barcodeUtil = new BarcodeUtil();

                Bitmap bitmap = barcodeUtil.createQRCcode(ContactDetailActivity.this, bundle);

                AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(ContactDetailActivity.this);
                Log.i(Constants.TAG_GBACARD, "Bmp in Dialog: " + bitmap);

                LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
                View dialogLayout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_dialog, null);
                builder.setView(dialogLayout);


                final ImageView qrCodeImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.qrCode);



                qrCodeImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

                builder.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        dialog.dismiss();
                    }
                });

                AlertDialog b = builder.create();
                b.show();

            } catch (Exception e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    });
}

This is the method that creates the barcode

public Bitmap createQRCcode(final Context context, final Bundle bundle) {
    Bitmap bitmap = null;
    try {
        //Find screen size
        WindowManager manager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
        Display display = manager.getDefaultDisplay();
        Point point = new Point();
        display.getSize(point);
        int width = point.x;
        int height = point.y;
        int smallerDimension = width < height ? width : height;
        smallerDimension = smallerDimension * 3 / 4;

        //Encode with a QR Code image
        qrCodeEncoder = new QRCodeEncoder(null,
                bundle,
                Contents.Type.CONTACT,
                BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE.toString(),
                smallerDimension);

            bitmap = qrCodeEncoder.encodeAsBitmap();

            Log.i(Constants.TAG_GBACARD, "QR Encoded");

            Log.i(Constants.TAG_GBACARD, "Bitmap: " + bitmap);



    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return bitmap;
}

This is the error:

Please Help. Thanks

Please replace this

final ImageView qrCodeImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.qrCode);

with this

final ImageView qrCodeImageView = (ImageView) dialogLayout.findViewById(R.id.qrCode);
