android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not for an application
        04-25 08:07:40.881: E/AndroidRuntime(6417):     at android.view.ViewRootImpl.setView(ViewRootImpl.java:563)

Following is my code,

public class ExpandableListAdapter1 extends BaseExpandableListAdapter {

    private Context _context;
    private List<String> _listDataHeader; // header titles
    // child data in format of header title, child title
    private HashMap<String, List<String>> _listDataChild;


    CommonFunctions cfObj;
    public ExpandableListAdapter1(Context context, List<String> listDataHeader,
            HashMap<String, List<String>> listChildData) {
        this._context = context;
        this._listDataHeader = listDataHeader;
        this._listDataChild = listChildData;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getChild(int groupPosition, int childPosititon) {
        return this._listDataChild.get(this._listDataHeader.get(groupPosition))

Seems like your member variable _context is is an invalid Context for creating dialogs. You need to pass your Activity to your adapter, not the application context obtained with getApplicationContext().
