unfortunately dialog has stopped

Question

I used dialog theme in my code but emulator is showing message that Unfortunately dialog has stopped. Also my AVD Emulator details are as follows: Nexus 7 API 19 skin: HVGA

Here is my manifest.xml file

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        package="com.example.dialog"
        android:versionCode="1"
        android:versionName="1.0" >

        <uses-sdk
            android:minSdkVersion="8"
            android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

        <application
            android:allowBackup="true"
            android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
             >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>`

Here is my main.java file

package com.example.dialog;

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}`


Here is my log when I launched my app

This is my Styles.xml file

<resources>

    <!--
        Base application theme, dependent on API level. This theme is replaced
        by AppBaseTheme from res/values-vXX/styles.xml on newer devices.
    -->
    <style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
        <!--
            Theme customizations available in newer API levels can go in
            res/values-vXX/styles.xml, while customizations related to
            backward-compatibility can go here.
        -->
    </style>

    <!-- Application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- All customizations that are NOT specific to a particular API-level can go here. -->
    </style>

</resources>

Look here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24850780/my-android-app-crashes-after-adding-androidstyle-theme-dialog-in-the-android. I think you have the same problem — Josef, Jan 24 '15 at 17:58

You're inheriting ActionBarActivity which (as the log suggests) requires you to use the AppCompat theme.

Set your styles.xml to this:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
</style>

Edit:

Also, in your manifest remove this:

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">

Otherwise use a different activity class, e.g. Activity.

Sir this is my xml file – nico08 Jan 24 '15 at 18:07
I have done what u said and uploaded the styles.xml file but nothing changed. – nico08 Jan 24 '15 at 18:08
Yes I have @Josef but the answer for that question dont completely solve the question.As if I remove android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"> then what do I do to get dialog theme?? – nico08 Jan 24 '15 at 18:31
@user3817876 "Otherwise use a different activity class, e.g. Activity".Please If you can elaborate – nico08 Jan 24 '15 at 18:33
@user3817876 In your java file, change to `MainActivity extends Activity`. Then you won't be limited to using AppCompat themes. – Simas Jan 24 '15 at 18:49

unfortunately dialog has stopped
