Problem and couldn't separate a View.onClickListener's class with the main class..help!
<p>I need some help on android.., apparently, I'm trying to make a progress dialog for learning purposes, basically this progress dialog doesn't do anything but shows the progress bar... I have a button in my main activity, upon clicking on that button, its onClickListener will run showDialog(1) method, which will call the main's onCreateDialog method, however I've placed the button's View.onClickListener as a separate class which is ButtonOnClickListener, all the necessary variables in the main activity are referenced in it, when I ran the activity in the avd emulator..when I click the button, it does not execute the progress dialog, but throws me an error "Sorry! the application has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." which forces me to quit... problem is with the ButtonOnClickListener class..which I still couldn't debug for hours..</p>

<p>It only works if the the onClickListener is an anonymous class... some help?</p>

<p>This is the main activity class..</p>
