    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.neterrorlayout);
        Button reload=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnReload);
        reload.setOnClickListener(this);    
        showInfoMessageDialog("Please check your network connection","Network Alert"); 
    }

    public void onClick(View arg0)             
        {
            if(isNetworkAvailable())
            {                   
                Intent myIntent = new Intent((Activity)NetErrorPage.this, MainActivity.class);   
                myIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);              
                ((Activity)NetErrorPage.this).startActivity(myIntent);
                finish();
            }
            else
                showInfoMessageDialog("Please check your network connection","Network Alert");
    }

    public void showInfoMessageDialog(String message,String title)

                    }
                });            
        alertDialog.show();
    }

 private boolean isNetworkAvailable()
    {
        NetworkInfo ActiveNetwork;
        @SuppressWarnings("unused")
        String IsNetworkConnected;
        @SuppressWarnings("unused")
        String ConnectionType;
        ConnectivityManager connectivitymanager;
        connectivitymanager=(ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);        
        try
        {           
            ActiveNetwork=connectivitymanager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
            ConnectionType=ActiveNetwork.getTypeName(); 
            IsNetworkConnected=String.valueOf(ActiveNetwork.getState());
            return true;                        
        }
        catch(Exception error)
        {
                return false;
        }
    }    
}

I have searched more... but i don't have any right idea to clear this.

What i want is, when loading this page, layout should be added and dialog should be shown.

Please help me to clear this error

Note: I have tried this also

@Override
    protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                showInfoMessageDialog("Please check your network connection","Network Alert");
            }
        });

    }

I got this error but it is resolved interesting. As first, i got this error at api level 17. When i call a thread (AsyncTask or others) without progress dialog then i call an other thread method again using progress dialog, i got that crash and the reason is about usage of progress dialog.

In my case, there are two results that;

• I took show(); method of progress dialog before first thread starts then i took dismiss(); method of progress dialog before last thread ends.

So :

ProgresDialog progressDialog = new ...

//configure progressDialog 

progressDialog.show();

start firstThread {
...
}

...

start lastThread {
...
} 

//be sure to finish threads

progressDialog.dismiss();

• This is so strange but that error has an ability about destroy itself at least for me :)

 @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(final Boolean success) {
        mProgressDialog.dismiss();
        mProgressDialog = null;

setting the value null works for me

Change this dialog.cancel(); to dialog.dismiss();

The solution is to call dismiss() on the Dialog you created in NetErrorPage.java:114 before exiting the Activity, e.g. in onPause().

Views have a reference to their parent Context (taken from constructor argument). If you leave an Activity without destroying Dialogs and other dynamically created Views, they still hold this reference to your Activity (if you created with this as Context: like new ProgressDialog(this)), so it cannot be collected by the GC, causing a memory leak.

In my case finish() executed immediately after a dialog has shown.

The dialog needs to be started only after the window states of the Activity are initialized This happens only after onresume.

So call

runOnUIthread(new Runnable(){

    showInfoMessageDialog("Please check your network connection","Network Alert");
});

in your OnResume function. Do not create dialogs in OnCreate
Edit:

use this

Handler h = new Handler();

h.postDelayed(new Runnable(){

        showInfoMessageDialog("Please check your network connection","Network Alert");
    },500);

in your Onresume instead of showonuithread

The way I got around this issue is by not calling intent within a dialog. **** use syntax applicable to activity or fragment accordingly

@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
    checkvariable= true;
    getActivity().finish();
}

@Override
public void onStop() {
    super.onStop();
    if (checkvariable) {
        startActivity(intent); 
    }
}

Please try this Way And Let me know :

Context mContext;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
   setContentView(R.layout.neterrorlayout);

   mContext=NetErrorPage.this;
   Button reload=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btnReload);
   reload.setOnClickListener(this);    
   showInfoMessageDialog("Please check your network connection","Network Alert"); 
}
public void showInfoMessageDialog(String message,String title)
{
   new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext)
   .setTitle("Network Alert");
   .setMessage(message);
   .setButton("OK",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
       public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int which) 
       {   
          dialog.cancel();
       }
   })
   .show();
}
