    Actually the Constructor for AlertDialog.Builder is

    AlertDialog.Builder(Context context)

    Constructor using a context for this builder and the AlertDialog it creates.

    and in your code this refers to your XMLParser Class not any Context 

    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

    Instead of passing .this pass the Context of Calling Activity or Application.

    something like,

    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
