Since I'm being moderated (courtesy of a spammer forging my email address, apparently), this message probably will show up a day late and a euro short. There is little reason anywhere to use getApplicationContext(). Activity is a Context. Service is a Context. BroadcastReceivers get passed a Context in onReceive(). And so on. As to why the difference in behavior, my guess is that since Toasts live outside any Activity, any sort of Context can be used to create them, but Dialogs are more intrinsically tied to an Activity. Now, if that is the case, it'd've been nice to actually make it be that way in the parameters (take an Activity rather than a generic Context). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 1.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
