No.This is not working.If we call `getParent()` then its working.Thanks – Piraba Aug 25 '11 at 05:25

Well you are using the wrong context here, try to use the right context that you are passing to the AlertDialog.Builder and your problem will be done.

You have used this

AlertDialog.Builder routeDefaultQue = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

inside the onListItemClick and you are passing this to create the AlertDialog.Builder which is wrong, you have to pass a context of Activity or Application there.

Yes.This correct. `AlertDialog.Builder routeDefaultQue = new AlertDialog.Builder(getParent());` – Piraba Aug 25 '11 at 05:20

if the content of a Tab is an Activity then you need to pass the context of the TabActivity to things like alert dialogs rather than the content activity's context.

Try this:

AlertDialog.Builder routeDefaultQue = new AlertDialog.Builder(getParent());
