I am trying to display a dialog box in a simple Java class that is called from my main Activity but not successful. Please help me to figure it out.
I am passing the required values as parametrs.
I have two class: class MainActivity extends Activity :: Main *starting point *of Application class ShowMyDialog :: a simple java program In which I *generate an URl* and *display a dialog with WebView*.
I am passing the Acitivity from my MainActivity to this class as a parameter in function.
But I am *unable to call* the onCreateDialog method that I have *defined in the simple java class.
However, If I define the *onCreateDialog method in MainActivity, I am able to display it successfully.
What Should I pass as Parameter to the non Activity class from MainActivity class so that I am able to display the dialog as defined by showdialog method in JAVA class ???*
My steps of source code is as follow:

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.

I have looked at the Android API and other posts here on stackoverflow, but have not been able to figure this out.
My app downloads files to the sd card. I would like to pop a "loading..." dialog while the file is downloading and then have it disappear when the download is finished. This is what i came up with using the android API:
CODE:.............
However the dialog doesn't actually show. when i debug it, it claims that it is showing, but it is obviously not on the screen.

I've got an app that responds to an Alert - and I really need to show an alert with a password entry before going on to the next screen; the trouble is I don't seem to be able to show a dialog from a broadcast receiver -- so how can I show a dialog password entry upon receiving an alert?

I'm wondering how I can create a custom pop-up like the one in the screenshot below (borrowed from the Swype keyboard), where I can have a couple of buttons, which each commit a string to the currently "connected" TextView (via a InputConnection). Please note: this is an InputMethodService and not an ordinary Activity. I already tried launching a separate Activity with Theme:Dialog. However, as soon as that one opens I lose my focus with the TextView and my keyboard disappears (and with that my InputConnection is gone).

In my current application I want to show a dialog having "Force Close" and "Report" option at the time of Unhandled Exception. Could anyone please let me know how to have this dialog? right now if I change default Exception Handler to mine It gets control but I am not able to show any dialog after that. I guess UI thread is already closed by the time handler gets control.

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?

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 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?

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 want to detect when an uncaught exception has happened in my Android app. Once detected, I want to display a confirmation dialog How do I get this confirmation dialog to display? When I tried various techniques, the UI is unresponsive and appears to be frozen. Code... I have tried these two implementations of CatchAllExceptionHandler: Display an Alert dialog Start an activity that then displays an alert dialog after onCreate So my question is: How to I get the confirmation dialog to properly display?

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've got an Android activity which grabs an RSS feed from a URL, and uses the SAX parser to stick each item from the XML into an array. This all works fine but, as expected, takes a bit of time, so I want to use AsyncActivity to do it in the background. The line items = parser.getItems() works fine - items being the arraylist containing each item from the XML. The problem I'm facing is that on starting the activity, the ProgressDialog which i create in onPreExecute() isn't displayed until after the doInBackground() method has finished. i.e. I get a black screen, a long pause, then a completely populated list with the items in. Why is this happening? Why isn't the UI drawing, the ProgressDialog showing, the parser getting the items and incrementally adding them to the list, then the ProgressDialog dismissing?

So this is related to a question I asked earlier. I am trying to display an alert using a specified layout. My layout is:
And the code to call and show the alert dialog is..
When I run it I get an error saying:
Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception
android.view.WindowManager$NadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not for an application
I've looked through the android development site and can't figure it out. I think I'm just missing something obvious but the fix isn't jumping out at me. How can I get this alert dialog to display?

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).

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'm currently writing a live wallpaper for Android and it has a PreferenceScreen which currently contains only one preference - a DialogPreference to set various properties of animation.I'm looking for a way to skip showing that preferences list with only one item and to show that dialog right away.But it seems that PreferenceActivity requests itself to have PreferenceScreen as a root element of preference hierarchy. So is it even possible to do what i want?
