Thanks for the suggestion. I did try that already actually. And I got the same problem. My styles file looks like this: <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">– ant2009Commented Feb 16, 2014 at 17:52

@ant2009 you won't. Use a theme from the support library AppCompat for your activity– RaghunandanCommented Feb 16, 2014 at 17:53

I not sure if I am adding this theme correct. But do you mean adding the following import statement? import android.support.v7.appcompat.*; However, I did try that and maybe I am wrong as I still ended up with the same exception.– ant2009Commented Feb 16, 2014 at 18:05

@ant2009 you can have a custom dialog. But do you want to full screen dialog?– RaghunandanCommented Feb 16, 2014 at 18:06

I didn't want to have it full screen. Just a dialog box. However, the problem is solved now. Bobbake4 got it right. Thanks for you effort anyway, you have given useful advice. However, I am still confused with all this support library and AppCompat.– ant2009Commented Feb 16, 2014 at 18:10

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
