Error : Launcher dialog dismiss failed : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Question

I have asked this question earlier here but no one was able to answer that one as well. The problem is that in my activity oncreate i am creating a alert dialog and this method runs perfectly on android 5.0 but in android API less than 5 I get an error:

Logcat:

E/HwLauncher: Launcher dialog dismiss failed : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: no dialog with id 1 was ever shown via Activity#showDialog

below is my code for activity

  private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 3000;

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

        // Alert Box

        final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
        builder.setTitle("Internet  not connected");
        builder.setMessage("You need to connect WiFi/Mobile-Data run this app.");
        builder.setCancelable(false);

        builder.setPositiveButton(
                "Go to Settings",
                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {

                        startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS));
                        finish();
                    }
                });

        builder.setNegativeButton(
                "Cancel",
                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                        finish();
                    }
                });
        final AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
        alert.show();

        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager)
                getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo networkInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();

        if (networkInfo != null){

            alert.dismiss();
            new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    // This method will be executed once the timer is over
                    // Start your app main activity
                    Intent i = new Intent(splash.this, LoginActivity.class);
                    startActivity(i);
                    // close this activity
                    finish();
                }
            }, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);

        }
    }

I have tried other answers from stackoverflow like this one but none of these answers helped me

EDIT:

I have commented out the AlertDialog part of the code but the error still persists. Below is the code I am using now without alertdialog

public class splash extends AppCompatActivity {

    private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 3000;

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


        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                // This method will be executed once the timer is over
                // Start your app main activity
                Intent i = new Intent(splash.this, LoginActivity.class);
                startActivity(i);
                // close this activity
                finish();
            }
        }, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);
        // Alert Box

        /*
        final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
        builder.setTitle("Internet  not connected");
        builder.setMessage("You need to connect WiFi/Mobile-Data run this app.");
        builder.setCancelable(false);

        builder.setPositiveButton(
                "Go to Settings",
                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {

                        startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_SETTINGS));
                        finish();
                    }
                });

        builder.setNegativeButton(
                "Cancel",
                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                        finish();
                    }
                });

        final Dialog alert = builder.create();
        alert.show();

        //WifiManager wifi =(WifiManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);

        ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager)
                getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo networkInfo = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();


        if (networkInfo != null){

            alert.dismiss();
            new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    // This method will be executed once the timer is over
                    // Start your app main activity
                    Intent i = new Intent(splash.this, LoginActivity.class);
                    startActivity(i);
                    // close this activity
                    finish();
                }
            }, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);

        }*/
    }

Even with the AlertDialog commented out Logcat shows the same error:

Launcher dialog dismiss failed : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: no dialog with id 1 was ever shown via Activity#showDialog

insted of using AlertDilaog try only Using final Dialog alert = builder.create(); — Manoj kumar, Nov 27 '17 at 08:16

@Manojkumar I tried this solution but the error is still the same — usama ahsan, Nov 27 '17 at 08:32
@IntelliJAmiya The removedialog(int i) method which is marked as correct in this thread is deprecated now for API 13 — usama ahsan, Nov 27 '17 at 08:42

            }
        } else {
            alert.show();
        }
    }
}

i tried like this and it is working. below is my gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.manoj.demoapplication"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
}

I am using the exactly same code except that the minSdk in my case is 14 because I am testing on lower API levels too. The code works perfectly fine on API 22 but on lower ones, I get above errors — usama ahsan, Nov 27 '17 at 12:36
Now I have even tried to comment out the AlertDialog part but the error still is same — usama ahsan, Dec 01 '17 at 12:14
