Android : dialog and NullPointerException

I have the first activity that call a dialog from second activity with this code :

public class negozi extends ListActivity implements dati_punti{

    private Context context;
    private popup_segnala segnala;

        @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.negozi);
        context = this;
                    visual_pop(context);
          }
          public void visual_pop(Context context){
                  segnala = new popup_segnala(context);
                   segnala.showDialog(popup_segnala.OK_INSERT);
          }

the second activity, popup_segnala have this code :

public class popup_segnala extends Activity {
public static final int OK_INSERT = 1;
private static Context context;

public popup_segnala(Context context) {
   this.context = context;
}
@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
   switch(id){
   case OK_INSERT :
        Builder build_insert = createDialog(context,"Dati registrati correttame开发者_StackOverflownte. Grazie","Alert");
        build_insert.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){

             @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                dialog.dismiss();
           }
             });
      return build_insert.show();       
     }
    return null;
 }
}

Why ??? :-( I have this error log:

Why do you create the class popup_segnala that extends Activity? You have to move onCreateDialog(int id) code in your main activity where you will simply call showDialog(OK_INSERT).

Moreover onCreateDialog must return a dialog object.
