Question

I am using an Activity with a Theme.Dialog to do my AlertDialog as i’m trying to use this dialog inside a BroadcastReceiver but when i added a OnClickListener the application crashes everytime it launches.

Code:

package nyp.android.project;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class PasswordDialog extends Activity {

    private static final String TAG = "Logging Activity";
    //Context context;   
    Button login;
    EditText inputPassword;

    private static final int MY_PASSWORD_DIALOG_ID = 0;

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    {
        //this.context = context;
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView (R.layout.password_dialog);

        //SharedPreferences passwdfile = context.getSharedPreferences(    
        //        PhoneFinder.PASSWORD_PREF_KEY, 0); 

        //String correctSHA1 = passwdfile.getString(PhoneFinder.PASSWORD_PREF_KEY, null);

        login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.loginPassword);
        inputPassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.btnLogin);

        login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
              Toast.makeText(PasswordDialog.this, "Hello World!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
        }

    }
