ng-click does not call function in mdDialog - angularjs

Question

I am a little new to AngularJS but I cannot figure out why the ng-click here will not call th addingSt() function, I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that it is being called from a mdDialog. Thanks for your help.
Heres my html for the mdDialog:
<md-dialog aria-label="Send Email">
<md-dialog-content>
<h3>Issue Details</h3>
<h4>Description</h4>
<md-input-container>
<label>Add description:</label>
<textarea class="form-control input-lg" style="width: 500px; height:100px;"></textarea>
</md-input-container>
<h3>Sub-tasks:</h3>
<md-list-item ng-repeat=" subtask in subtasks">
<p>{{subtask.content}}</p>
<md-checkbox aria-label="blarg" class="md-secondary" style="padding-right:60px;" ng-click="removeSubTask(subtask,$index)"></md-checkbox>
<md-list-item ng-if="addingTask === true"> <input ng-if="addingTask===true" ng-model="task.content" aria-label="blarg" placeholder="Add Subtask Here"></input>
</md-dialog-content>
<md-dialog-actions>
<md-button ng-show="addingTask === false" ng-click="addingSt()" class="btn btn-primary">
Add Sub-Task
</md-button>
<md-button ng-show="addingTask === true" ng-click="addingSt()" class="btn btn-primary">
cancel
</md-button>
<md-button ng-show="addingTask === true" ng-click="addSubTask()" class="btn btn-primary">
Submit
</md-button>
<md-button ng-click="closeDialog()" class="btn btn-primary">
Close
</md-button>
Here's the controller for the parent of the above mdDialog, (the controller for the mdDialog is nested inside it and works fine for all functions accept the addingSt() function)
var app = angular.module('epr')
app.controller('adminMainCtr',[ '$scope','$mdDialog',function($scope, $mdDialog) {
$scope.issues = [
{ name: 'Blizzard', img: 'img/100-0.jpeg', WardMessage: true, index:0, subtasks:[{content:"Shovel Sister Pensioner's Driveway "},
{content:"Clear downed trees at the Bush's home "}]},
{ name: 'Tornado', img: 'img/100-1.jpeg', WardMessage: false, index:1, subtasks:[{content:"",index:0}] },
{ name: 'Peterson Family Car Crash', img: 'img/100-2.jpeg', WardMessage: false, index:2, subtasks:[{content:"",index:0}] },
{ name: 'Flood', img: 'img/100-2.jpeg', WardMessage: false, index:3, subtasks:[{content:"",index:0}] },
{ name: 'School Shooting', img: 'img/100-2.jpeg', WardMessage: false, index:4, subtasks:[{content:"",index:0}] }
];
$scope.goToIssue = function(issue, event) {
var parentEl = angular.element(document.body);
$mdDialog.show({
//parent: parentEl,
templateUrl:'views/issue.html',
locals: {
items: $scope.items,
issue: issue
},
controller: DialogController
});
function DialogController($scope, $mdDialog) {
$scope.subtasks = issue.subtasks;
$scope.addingTask = false;
$scope.task={content:""};
$scope.closeDialog = function() {
console.log($scope.addingTask);
$mdDialog.hide();
}
$scope.removeSubTask = function(subtask,index){
$scope.subtasks.splice(index,1);
}
}
$scope.addSubTask = function() {
console.log("here");
}
$scope.addingSt = function() {
if($scope.addingTask === false) {
console.log($scope.addingTask);
$scope.addingTask = true;
return;
}
if($scope.addingTask === true) {
$scope.addingTask = false;
return;
}
}
}
}]);
Any help that you can lend me would be very appreciated!!!

You messed with the HTML and angylar code.
Errors found:
1) angular module initialization.
var app = angular.module('MyApp', ['ngMaterial'])
2) You placed some function outside the DialogController
3) md-list-item HTML has no end tags.
Created working Plunkr here. https://plnkr.co/edit/Sl1WzLMCd8sW34Agj6g0?p=preview . Hope it will solve your problem.
