You’re trying to show a Dialog after you’ve exited an Activity.

therefore Adding few important points from comments, which might be more helpful for future investigator without going in depth of comment conversation.

Answer 1 :

You’re trying to show a Dialog after you’ve exited an Activity.

Answer 2

This error can be a little misleading in some circumstances (although
the answer is still completely accurate) – i.e. in my case an
unhandled Exception was thrown in an AsyncTask, which caused the
Activity to shutdown, then an open progressdialog caused this
Exception.. so the ‘real’ exception was a little earlier in the log

Answer 3

Call dismiss() on the Dialog instance you created before exiting your
Activity, e.g. in onPause() or onDestroy()
