AlertDialog.Builder builder;
    AlertDialog alertDialog;

    Context mContext = getApplicationContext();
    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.dialoglayout,
                                   (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.layout_root));

    TextView text = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.text);
    text.setText("Hello, this is a custom dialog!");
    ImageView image = (ImageView) layout.findViewById(R.id.image);
    image.setImageResource(R.drawable.icon);

    builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
    builder.setView(layout);
    alertDialog = builder.create();

    alertDialog.show();

Can anyone tell me the problem with this code .It gives the below exception:

My idea:

1) use current activity instead of mContext = getApplicationContext(); for example:

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) this.getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

this refers to your activity if you are writing code in it.

2) clear your project

Moreover, if you want a custom Dialog there is no need to inflate the views and use an AlertDialog.Builder.

Instead, you can do it like this:

Dialog customDialog = new Dialog(YourActivity.this);
customDialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialoglayout);
TextView text = (TextView) customDialog.findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setText("Hello, this is a custom dialog!");
ImageView image = (ImageView) customDialog.findViewById(R.id.image);
image.setImageResource(R.drawable.icon);

customDialog.show();

You can see an example of this in the Android Dev Guide: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#CustomDialog
