Unreachable Statement

Attempting to follow along the Basic Android Dev course (Weather App) and everything is going soundly except for an error: "unreachable statement".

There is a red squiggly line on this entire line and I am unsure how to fix this. Any help would be appreciated- thanks :).

Context context = getActivity();

Here is a larger view of that code:

public class AlertDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {

@Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    return super.onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState);
    Context context = getActivity();
    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
            .setTitle(context.getString(R.string.error_title))
            .setMessage(context.getString(R.string.error_message))
            .setPositiveButton(R.string.error_ok_button_text2, null);
    AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
    return dialog;
}

}

Hi Aldrin - The problem is that in the onCreateDialog() method the first line of code is a return statement so you can never reach the lines of code that follow. You need to remove that line.
