A warning dialog is displayed but not displayed

Question

I have an activity where I launch the built-in camera using onActivityResult. Having taken the picture, I return to my application and show a pop-up window asking the user whether he wants to take more pictures or not. It works fine, but after shooting, when I click the "Save" button on the camera’s built-in application, and on average, I click the "home" button. If I return to my application, my activity will be visible, but not active, there is a pop-up window that should be visible, but I do not see it. If I press the back button and cancel the pop-up, my activity is active again, but I do not want to allow the user to cancel the pop-up, so when this happens I can not use my application, I just need to kill it ...

The question is, how can I make the dialog always on top if it is displayed? The reason it seems that it is behind the activity, waiting for the user to interact with it ...

Thanks!

Answer 1

The easiest way to find this is to track the lifetime of the dialog in action and do hide() / show() in onResume for activity. This solution only works for one Dialog at a time, but can be easily adapted to more if necessary.

1) Make your activity an implementation of Dialog.OnDismissListener .
2) Add an instance variable for the current Dialog in the Activity :

 private Dialog currentDialog = null; 

3) In onResume() add:

 if(currentDialog != null) { currentDialog.hide(); currentDialog.show(); } 

4) For each dialog box created in onCreateDialog() , add:

 dialog.setOnDismissListener(this); currentDialog = dialog; 

5) Finally, add:

 @Override public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog) { if(dialog == currentDialog) currentDialog = null; } 

I think this is fixed.

Answer 2

Your dialogue seems to be canceled. Try dialog.setCanceleabe(false) and in onResume dialog.show() (to make sure it will be visible after activity resumes).

Answer 3

An old question, I know, but you should add a headline: If the layout does not have a height or width, it can be reduced to 0 * 0 -> Invisible
