I’m having a stack overflow error relating to android dialogs. I have around 21 dialogs contained within a which statement using showDialog(DIALOG1); to display the dialogs which works great when both the dialogs and the main activity are contained within the same class file but once I move the dialogs into another class file and try to access them from the main activity it causes a stack overflow error. I’ve tried extending the Dialog class in the dialog class as well as extending the class that contains the dialogs(main activity extends classOfDialogs). I can not seem to get the dialogs to work being accessed from another file. Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

It looks like you are calling this Activity’s Dialog recursively.
To avoid the application running out of memory, this exception is thrown. I think you need to redesign your code. A better idea will be to have the Dialogs in a common base class and extend it.
