Android: display a custom Dialog when clicking on Gallery element

Question

Bonjour everyone

I 'd like to display a Dialog with customized layout when clicking on an element of Gallery view. My gallery is displayed without any problem but when selecting an element an error occured.

My code :

gallery.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));
...

gallery.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v,  int position, long id) {


        final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(mContext);
        dialog.setContentView(R.layout.show_capture);

        dialog.setTitle("my title");

        ImageView image = (ImageView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.image);
        image.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher);

        Button dialogButton = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.dialogButtonOK);
        dialogButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });

        dialog.show();

        }
});

My Log file :

Change this:

final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(mContext);

to this:

final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(ActivityDetailsActivity.this);
