Stack Overflow error android?

Question

My code was running fine but suddenly when i ran the code again, it gave me stack overflow error. Following is my code:HelloDatePickerActivity has already been defined.

HelloDatePickerActivity daten=new HelloDatePickerActivity();
        static final int DATE_DIALOG_ID = 0;    
        Button mPickDate;
        TextView mDateDisplay;

        /** Called when the activity is first created. */
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.offline_screen);

    mPickDate=(Button)findViewById(R.id.pickDate);

        mPickDate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID); 
            }
        });        
    }
        @Override
        protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
            switch (id) {
            case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
                return new DatePickerDialog(this,
                            daten.mDateSetListener,
                            daten.mYear, daten.mMonth, daten.mDay);
            }
            return null;
        }         

}

And the Logcat is:

HelloDatePickerActivity daten=new HelloDatePickerActivity();

Here is your problem. Think about it.

Edit: Anyway, you must understand that calling new Activity() is bad programming practice. Unfortunately I can't provide documentation reference saying that exact thing. Some relatively useful reference about creating new activities.

@ross: Before you haven't initialed ACB_OlineScreenActivity in there? Just guessing ;)

When your HelloDatePickerActivity is instantiated, new HelloDatePickerActivity is created. And after that new HelloDatePickerActivity is created. Infinite recursion = stack overflow.
