无法添加窗口（Android）

Question

I've tried using the context from new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext) with the context from adapter constructor, ie mContext , with

My deleteComment() function:

private void deleteComment(int position) {
        String currentUserObjectId = ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getObjectId();
        ParseQuery<ParseObject> query = new ParseQuery<>("Yeet");
        query.whereEqualTo(ParseConstants.KEY_OBJECT_ID, mYeets.get(position).getObjectId());
        query.whereContains(ParseConstants.KEY_SENDER_ID, currentUserObjectId);
        query.findInBackground((yeet, e) -> {
            if (e == null) {

                for (ParseObject yeetObject : yeet) {

                    if (yeetObject.getParseObject(ParseConstants.KEY_SENDER_AUTHOR_POINTER).getObjectId().equals((ParseUser.getCurrentUser().getObjectId()))) {

                        AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
                        dialogBuilder.setTitle("Delete");
                        dialogBuilder.setMessage("Do you want to delete this Yeet?");
                        dialogBuilder.setPositiveButton("Yes", (dialog, which) -> {

                            // Iterate over all messages and delete them
                            for (ParseObject delete : yeet) {

                                delete.deleteInBackground();

                                /*this.adapter.remove(mYeets.get(position));*/
                                this.adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

                                Toast.makeText(mContext, "Yeet deleted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            }

                        });
                        dialogBuilder.setNegativeButton("No", (dialog, which) -> {
                        });
                        AlertDialog alertDialog = dialogBuilder.create();
                        alertDialog.show();
                    }
                }

            } else {
                Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
            }
        });
    }

The exception:

Here is a gist of my Adapter class if that helps:

Answer 1

Make sure mContext is an Activity.

Calling new AlertDialog.Builder(activity.getApplicationContext()) will throw this same error, but new AlertDialog.Builder(activity) works fine when calling show() .

Looks like AlertDialog is designed to use context from visible elements only, as an Activity, and not from an ApplicationContext, Service, etc.
