Android Studio 0.4.5
Android documentation for creating custom dialog boxes: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html
If you want a custom dialog, you can instead display an Activity as a dialog instead of using the Dialog APIs. Simply create an activity and set its theme to Theme.Holo.Dialog in the <activity> manifest element:
<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Dialog" >
However, when I tried this I get the following exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity
I am supporting the following, and I can't using something greater than 10 for the min:
minSdkVersion 10
targetSdkVersion 19
In my styles I have the following:
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
And in my manifest I have this for the activity:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.Dialog"
android:name="com.ssd.register.Dialog_update"
android:label="@string/title_activity_dialog_update" >
</activity>
Creating the dialog box like this was something I was hopping to do, as I have already completed the layout.
Can anyone tell me how I can get around this problem?

The reason you are having this problem is because the activity you are trying to apply the dialog theme to is extending ActionBarActivity which requires the AppCompat theme to be applied.
Update: Extending AppCompatActivity would also have this problem
In this case, change the Java inheritance from ActionBarActivity to Activity and leave the dialog theme in the manifest as it is, a non Theme.AppCompat value
The general rule is that if you want your code to support older versions of Android, it should have the AppCompat theme and the java code should extend AppCompatActivity. If you have *an activity that doesn't need this support, such as you only care about the latest versions and features of Android, you can apply any theme to it but the java code must extend plain old Activity.
NOTE: When change from AppCompatActivity (or a subclass, ActionBarActivity), to Activity, must also change the various calls with "support" to the corresponding call without "support". So, instead of getSupportFragmentManager, call getFragmentManager.
min sdk is 10. ActionBar is available from api level 11. So for 10 you would be using AppCompat from the support library for which you need to use Theme.AppCompat or descendant of the same.
Use
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat" >
Or if you dont want action bar at the top
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
More info @
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html
Edit:
I might have misread op post.
Seems op wants a Dialog with a Activity Theme. So as already suggested by Bobbake4 extend Activity instead of ActionBarActivity.
Also have a look @ Dialog Attributes in the link below
All you need to do is add android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light" to your application tag in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
You have came to this because you want to apply Material Design in your theme style in previous sdk versions to 21. ActionBarActivity requires AppThemeso if you also want to prevent your own customization about your AppTheme, only you have to change in your styles.xml (previous to sdk 21) so this way, can inherit for an App Compat theme.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light.DarkActionBar">
for this:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
go to your styles and put the parent
parent="Theme.AppCompat"
instead of
parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light"
This is what fixed it for me: instead of specifying the theme in manifest, I defined it in onCreate for each activity that extends ActionBarActivity:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setTheme(R.style.MyAppTheme);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.my_activity_layout);
...
}
Here MyAppTheme is a descendant of Theme.AppCompat, and is defined in xml. Note that the theme must be set before super.onCreate and setContentView.
Change your theme style parent to
parent="Theme.AppCompat"
This worked for me ...
This one worked for me:
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
Your Activity is extending ActionBarActivity which requires the AppCompat.theme to be applied. Change from ActionBarActivity to Activity or FragmentActivity, it will solve the problem.
If you use no Action bar then :
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
I had such crash on Samsung devices even though the activity did use Theme.AppCompat. The root cause was related to weird optimizations on Samsung side:
- if one activity of your app has theme not inherited from Theme.AppCompat
- and it has also `android:launchMode="singleTask"`
- then all the activities that are launched from it will share the same Theme
My solution was just removing android:launchMode="singleTask"
If you need to extend ActionBarActivity you need on your style.xml:
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base"/>
<style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
If you set as main theme of your application as android:Theme.Material.Light instead of AppTheme.Base then you’ll get an “IllegalStateException:You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity” error.
You have many solutions to that error.
You should use Activity or FragmentActivity instead of ActionbarActivity or AppCompatActivity
If you want use ActionbarActivity or AppCompatActivity, you should change in styles.xml Theme.Holo.xxxx to Theme.AppCompat.Light (if necessary add to DarkActionbar)
If you don't need advanced attributes about action bar or AppCompat you don't need to use Actionbar or AppCompat.
Copying answer from @MarkKeen in the comments above as I had the same problem.
I had the error stated at the top of the post and happened after I added an alert dialog. I have all the relevant style information in the manifest. My problem was cured by changing a context reference in the alert builder - I changed:
new android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext())
to:
new android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog.Builder(this)
And no more problems.
My Activity with SectionsPagerAdapter and ViewPager & Fragment
public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements ActionBar.TabListener
...
...
@Override
public void onPostResume(){
super.onPostResume();
try {
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
}catch (NullPointerException ignored){
}
}
In Android manifest just change theme of activity to AppTheme as follow code snippet
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
</activity>
I had the same problem, but it solved when i put this on manifest: android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/icon"
android:label="@string/app_name_test"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat">
...
</application>
I was experiencing this problem even though my Theme was an AppCompat Theme and my Activity was an AppCompatActivity (or Activity, as suggested on other's answers). So I cleaned, rebuild and rerun the project.
(Build -> Clean Project ; Build -> Rebuild Project ; Run -> Run)
It may seem dumb, but now it works great!
Just hope it helps!
In my case i have no values-v21 file in my res directory. Then i created it and added in it following codes:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
</style>
This solution worked for me.
Design library depends on the Support v4 and AppCompat Support Libraries, so don't use different version for appcompat and design library in gradle.
use
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0'
instead of
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.0'
For me none of the above answers worked even after I had Theme.AppCompat as my base theme for the application. I was using com.android.support:design:24.1.0 So I just changed the version to 24.1.1. After the gradle sync, Its working again and the exception went away. Seems to me the issue was with some older versions of design support libraries.
Just putting this here in case other answers don't work for some people.
for me was solution to use ContextThemeWrapper:
private FloatingActionButton getFAB() {
Context context = new android.support.v7.view.ContextThemeWrapper(getContext(), R.style.AppTheme);
FloatingActionButton fab = new FloatingActionButton(context);
return fab;}
Change the theme of the desired Activity. This works for me:
<activity
android:name="HomeActivity"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" />
This worked for me, I just changed:
final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext());
to this:
final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
This is when you want a AlertDialog in a Fragment
AlertDialog.Builder adb = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
adb.setTitle("My alert Dialogue \n");
adb.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
//some code
} });
adb.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
} });
adb.show();
Quick solution.
Change your base theme parent in styles.xml
Replace from
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
to
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
I had this problem as well and what I did to fix it, AND still use the Holo theme was to take these steps:
first I replaced this import:
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
with this one:
import android.app.Activity;
then changed my extension from:
public class MyClass extends AppCompatActivity {//...
to this:
public class MyClass extends Activity {//...
And also had to change this import:
import android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog;
to this import:
import android.app.AlertDialog;
and then you can use your theme tag in the manifest at the activity level:
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Dialog" />
and lastly, (unless you have other classes in your project that has to use v7 appCompat) you can either clean and rebuild your project or delete this entry in the gradle build file at the app level:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1'
if you have other classes in your project that has to use v7 appCompat then just clean and rebuild the project.
I was getting this same problem. Because i was creating custom navigation drawer. But i forget to mention theme in my manifest like this
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar"
As soon i added the above the theme to my manifest it resolved the problem.
In my case, i was inflating a view with ApplicationContext. When you use ApplicationContext, theme/style is not applied, so although there was Theme.Appcompat in my style, it was not applied and caused this exception. More details: Theme/Style is not applied when inflater used with ApplicationContext
In my experiences the problem was the context where I showed my dialog. Inside a button click I instantiate an AlertDialog in this way:
builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext());
But the context was not correct and caused the error. I've changed it using the application context in this way:
In declare section:
Context mContext;
in the onCreate method
mContext = this;
And finally in the code where I need the AlertDialog:
start_stop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.start_stop);
start_stop.setOnClickListener( new View.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
if (!is_running)
{
builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
builder.setMessage("MYTEXT")
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("SI", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
Task_Started = false;
startTask();
}
})
.setNegativeButton("NO",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
}
}
}
This is the solution for me.
Just Do
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
Instead of
new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext())
