In my application, I want to use dialog into service and for this, I wrote the code below, but after I click on the button to show dialog, I get a Force close error!

My service code: 

public class FloatingLayoutService extends Service implements StepperFormListener {

    @Override
    public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
        windowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
        //Inflate the layout using LayoutInflater
        layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        floatingLayout = (ConstraintLayout) layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.service_floating_layout, null);

        floatingLay_root = floatingLayout.findViewById(R.id.floatingLay_root);
        floatingLay_main = floatingLayout.findViewById(R.id.floatingLay_main);
        floatingLay_emptyImg = floatingLayout.findViewById(R.id.floatingLay_emptyImg);
        ...

        //Set layout params to display the controls over any screen.
        int LAYOUT_FLAG;
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
            LAYOUT_FLAG = WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY;
        } else {
            LAYOUT_FLAG = WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE;
        }
        final WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                LAYOUT_FLAG,
                0,
                PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
        // From API26, TYPE_PHONE deprecated. Use TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY for O
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
            params.type = WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE;
        //Initial position of the floating controls
        params.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.START;
        params.x = 0;
        params.y = 0;
        //Add the controls view to windowManager
        windowManager.addView(floatingLayout, params);

        //Task page btn
        floatingLay_infoContentNextPage.setOnClickListener(v -> {
            AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
                    .setTitle("Title")
                    .setMessage("Are you sure?")
                    .create();

            alertDialog.getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT);
            alertDialog.show();

        });

        return START_STICKY;
    }

You cannot show dialogs in a Service. You need an Activity Context for dialogs.

With a Service Context you can start a new Activity and display your dialog there.

Go to res/values/styles.xml

Below your "AppTheme" style closing bracket, add this:

<style name="MyDialogTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog.Alert">
    <item name="android:colorAccent">#ff0000</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">#ff0000</item>
    <item name="android:background">#00FFFFFF</item>
</style>

And then, modify the way you create your AlertDialog:

AlertDialog.Builder alertdialogobuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this, R.style.MyDialogTheme);

Hope it helps!

  • Thanks my friend, after add your code show me below error : `android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window android.view.ViewRootImpl$WEx@a9c2c6a -- permission denied for window type 2003` – Dr.KeyOk Mar 11 '20 at 12:28
  • This error means you are trying to launch the dialog above the lock screen or in another context outside the application right? – Juan Sancho Mar 11 '20 at 14:26
