Yes I know there's AlertDialog.Builder, but I'm shocked to know how difficult (well, at least not programmer-friendly) to display a dialog in Android.
I used to be a .Net developer, and I'm wondering is there any Android-equivalent of the following? code...

I have an application that is designed to pop up a question when a phone call ends using a BroadcastReceiver and a PhoneStateListener.
My problem is, when a call is received while the user is not currently using my application, the dialog is not displayed until the application is manually started. I would like either for the dialog to be displayed on top of what ever context the user is currently in, or that my application will be focused.
How is this done?
I would like to intercept outgoing calls and pass them to a VOIP application. I see that the Google Voice application has a feature for displaying a question before each call is actually initiated. It provides the user with the choice:
Initiate call via Google Voice
Initiate call via standard call
I would like a way to do something similar with my application (so that not all calls have to be routed through it). At the moment, I can intercept CALL events via a BroadcastReceiver, however, these are not allowed to open dialogs (thus making it possible to display the choice).
What is the best way of achieving this goal?
I need to display an alert message for no more than a half a second. As I understand it, Toast only has 2 available durations, with no way to alter them. Correct me if I'm wrong. Which leads me to sing the AlertDialog. What would be the best way of displaying a dialog for 500ms and then dismissing it?

now i want to display this activity is as a dialog for another activity..
how can i do that?
I have a situation where I have a broadcast receiver which creates a notification and the notification, when selected, sends the application to a new Activity with a yes/no AlertDialog. I have two questions:
1. Is it possible to show an AlertDialog (from the notification) without sending the user to a new Activity? (This way the user can click No and resume working in any other application)
2. A ListActivity already exists in this application. If the user clicks yes the user should be send to this existing Activity. Currently I'm dong this from a new activity in the application using: startActivity(new Intent(this,MSPMain.class)); I believe this is making a new instance of the Activity rather than simply showing the existing Activity. Is there a way to show the existing Activity without making starting a new one?
Does anyone know if it's possible to get a Dialog box to display between activities? I've looked and haven't been able to find a solution.

I have a webview I'd like to display as a dialog. I'd like the webview to fill the entire screen, except for a button below it that I'd like to stay at the bottom of the dialog regardless of how much content is in the webview. Currently my webview fills up the dialog just enough to push the button off the screen. I'm sure this is something pretty easy but for the life of me, I haven't been able to find the magical combination of layouts, views and attribute values to get it to play nice. Just to be clear, I've gotten it so the button floats over the webview but I'd like the webview to stop just above the button and scroll, if that makes sense.

I upgraded my Nexus One a few days ago with 2.2 (Froyo). This morning when I went to use it I saw a Dialog sitting atop the home/launcher screen notifying me that an update was available and that I could choose to upgrade now or later. My question is, what API mechanisms is this using to show a Dialog (perhaps an AlertDialog) atop the home screen? Having written an Android app, it was my understanding that Dialogs could only be shown atop an Activity, and that a Service cannot show a Dialog (only a Toast).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem about repeating Login dialog (an AlertDialog) and progress dialog, coordinating with http thread. I suppose repetitive Login dialog (if fail, continue) handling should be common and straightforward. I guess my approach must be wrong somewhere. I already spent 2 days on this and am desperate. So please help. User starts the app, the main activity starts.Show a login dialog (generated by the main thread, i.e. from on Create. The main thread then starts a wait_thread, which will wait for http to return data and check the data and decide what to do.After user input username/password and press login, a progress dialog starts.The progress dialog starts an http_thread to talk to the server and get replies. Once done, it will notify the waiting thread.If the user type in the right username password first time, the code works fine.But it always fail for 2nd time Login, i.e. When first login fail(wrong username/ password),the wait_thread will generate 2nd Login dialog to let user repeat the login process. But after user hit the login on this 2nd Login dialog, the system always crashes.

My question is how to implement this Similar result by extends dialog or alertDialog.
I'm trying to get my list view to open up an alert dialog to display information when a person clicks on a selection. I have been trying several different things on the Google Developers website that have to do with this but have yet to come up with a result. Here is my code. package table.periodic;
import android.app.Activity; import android.app.AlertDialog; import android.app.Dialog; import android.content.Context; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.widget.AdapterView; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import android.widget.ImageView; import android.widget.ListView; import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;...........
how to create an Alert dialog in a dialog? is it possible to create? My requirement is to show mulitple dialogs simultaneously. I tried creating with the following code snippet onClick of a Button in the first Dialog and got an "BadToken" exception from WindowManager: "Unable to add window -- token null is not for an application"
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getContext()); builder.setTitle("Test Title"); builder.setOnCancelListener(new Dialog.OnCancelListener() { public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) { dismiss(); } });
I have a really weird problem, which I am unable to debug so far. thing is. my app needs to download something to work. So in the beginning of the onCreate() method, I check if that something is already downloaded. If not, I pop a dialog up asking the user to download it.My dialog is shown and I am clicking, so aManager.install() is called. I am passing the context because that aManager.install() pops up a ProgressDialog to show downloading progress and spawns a new thread in which everything is downloaded. So obviously before creating my dialog I make a Handler to receive the response from that aManager.install(). And the response MAY vary, because for example the internet connection isn't available (Exception raised and catched and listener called with different code).Now, when that happens (Exception) I would like to call another dialog saying "something went wrong, would you like to retry?" so another call to showDialog(DIALOG_REINSTALL) (this time with another code).thing is the showDialog() gets called (I can verify this by logging) but the dialogs doesn't show up. Instead my application JUST HANGS Does someone have a clue why it's doing this? No exception raised, absolutely nothing from logcat, I can't tell WHERE it's hanging...just see that the method is called and the dialog should be displayed.
