Hi, You can dismiss the dialog shown by showalert() by clicking the back button on the emulator, if your dialog is cancelable. http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/Context.html#showAlert(java.lang.CharSequence,%20int,%20java.lang.CharSequence,%20java.lang.CharSequence,%20android.content.DialogInterface.OnClickListener,%20java.lang.CharSequence,%20android.content.DialogInterface.OnClickListener,%20boolean,%20android.content.DialogInterface.OnCancelListener)
If you want a show an alert which disappears automatically after a specified duration or disappears on calling cancel(), consider using the Toast class instead. Sample code for using Toast: The ApiDemos > apps> AlarmService.java,AlarmController.java Hope this helps!
