Could you please paste the code you use from the library? The builder I mean.

radvansky-tomas commented

Nothing, just:

AppUpdater appUpdater = new AppUpdater(this);
appUpdater.start();

Inside my application object passing global context

javiersantos commented

AppUpdater uses an AlertDialog from the AppCompat library to display the dialog, which requires the AppCompat theme to be applied.

I think the problem here is that your activity is not using an AppCompat theme. Make sure the android:theme line from the AndroidManifest refers to an AppCompat theme.

Have a look to the sample project too, which is an implementation of the library using AppCompat.

Hope it helps.

A word of caution here. The most common cause of that statement actually isn't a style problem at all. You've most likely passed in the application context to AppUpdater instead of the activity context. If you do this, you will the above log statement even if your styles are all fine and your activity is extending AppCompatActivity. Don't waste 2 hours like I just did.

Eugens answer here led me to this
