Android – prevent Dialog to be cashed in the Activity

bo — Tue, 11 May 2010 05:13:45 +0000

If you override Activity#onCreateDialog method to create a pop-up dialog something that you have to be aware is this dialog will be cashed for any subsequent calls. For most cases it is just the right behavior but what if you want to change contents of the dialog on the next call? One possible scenario – say you have few tabs that display similar content in the same pop-up but the info changes based on the active tab. Here’s one way to do it. When you set your onClick listener put this into onClick call:
dialog.dismiss(); activity.removeDialog(DIALOG_ID);
Here DIALOG_ID is the same ID you are using in the Activity#onCreateDialog call

“N1 is nothing more than souped up MyTouch” – my own quote and oh boy was I wrong! N1 really rocks! After my trusted and not-so-old T-Mobile gadget it feels like a Porsche vs. beat-up Toyota (sorry I couldn’t resists). It’s slick, fast and far more polished. And I love it!
