Android Creating Intent Inside Dialog Custom View

Question

I have created a dialog using a custom xml view now i have some buttons that i want to add on click listeners and launch new activity using them. But everytime i try to create an intent it crashes my application.

         Dialog dialog = new Dialog(MainActivity.this);
     dialog.setContentView(R.layout.activity_dialog_tips);
     RelativeLayout AldikoLauncher;
     AldikoLauncher = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.launch_aldiko_tour);

        AldikoLauncher.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                pref.setGuidedActivity("MainActivity");
                Intent ShowCase1 = new Intent(MainActivity.this,ShowCaseStep1.class);
                ShowCase1.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
                overridePendingTransition(R.anim.fadeout, R.anim.fadein);
                startActivity(ShowCase1);
            }
        }); 
     dialog.setTitle("Quick Tips");
     dialog.setCancelable(true);
     dialog.show();

Answer 1

Change

AldikoLauncher = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.launch_aldiko_tour);

to

 AldikoLauncher = (RelativeLayout)dialog.findViewById(R.id.launch_aldiko_tour);

because for accessing UI elements from Dialog layout you will need to use dialog
