Answer 1

In OnCreateDialog method, in the line:

return new DatePickerDialog(this.getParent(), datePickerListener, year, month,day);

use application basecontext instead of this.getparent()

it might help you.

Answer 2

Instead of doing this:

return new DatePickerDialog(this.getParent(), datePickerListener, year, month,
            day);

Try this and see if it works:

return new DatePickerDialog(PlaceOrder.this, datePickerListener, year, month,
                day);
