Hello,

I get the following error when I click on a specific earthquake from the list of quakes: "The application com.paad.earthquake (process com.paad.earthquake) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

The Logs show the following:

I am using the latest version of the sample code. Any reasons why?

Thanks!

It looks like a got a bit carried away with a couple of find-replace searches right before I uploaded the sample code. What's happened is I've used getApplicationContext() when I should be passing in the Activity's context.

What you need to do is fix these two lines, replacing getApplicationContext() with this, as shown below:

Code:

LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(getApplicationContext());
View quakeDetailsView = li.inflate(R.layout.quake_details, null);
    
AlertDialog.Builder quakeDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext());

Becomes:

Code:

LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(this);
View quakeDetailsView = li.inflate(R.layout.quake_details, null);
    
AlertDialog.Builder quakeDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

Sorry about that, I've got a few updates to the sample code pending that should be available in the next few days.

Thanks, that did the trick!
