AlertDialog Show Problem In A Class Which Extends ItemizedOverlay<OverlayItem>

i am using MapActivity in my application to show map and for that i have a class named MapItemizedOverlay which extends ItemizedOverlay. I added an AlertDialog on onTap() function of MapItemizedOverlay class. After running the application, when i click on the marker of a point the application crashed giving a BadTokenException. I tried to debug using Log and it shows me the problem is on dialog.show() line where dialog is my AlertDialog's object. Now, i don't understand whats the exact problem with the code is ? :-/ I am giving my code below, Please guys help me on the issue .... Thanks in advance ..... !!!

}

Its solved , I have to use getParent() in the expression given below,

itemizedoverlay = new MapItemizedOverlay(drawable,getParent());

As my Activity extends TabActivity ....
