add window bad token when selecting spinner

Question

I have a custom listview with a spinner as one of the components of the row. I am using fragments so I inflate the layout as follow:

this._inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);

where

context = getActivity().getApplicationContext().

My layout for the spinner is:

<Spinner
    android:id="@+id/spTipoDispProteccion"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:textColor="@color/NEGRO"
    android:layout_weight="3.1"
    style="@style/DropDownAltaFacil"
    android:spinnerMode="dialog"
    android:entries="@array/OPCIONES_TIPO_DISP_SEGURIDAD"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
    android:layout_marginLeft="5dp" 
/>

When I select the spinner ir order to choose a value it crashes and show me the error add window token null. I try to pass getActivity() but does not work.

Any idea?

This is my log:

Simply use `getActivity()` because `getApplicationContext()` is the `Context` of your whole `Application`. Also if you'r using fragments then show full code for that ! — Piyush, Nov 25 '15 at 15:51
When I use getActivity() the look and feel of the row does not appear the way that I want and other component of the row (switch) crashes. — Raquel Cagigas Tabares, Nov 25 '15 at 16:10
