I'm just learning -- no particular task in mind -- but I'm thinking of a case where, for the sake of argument, I'd put up three successive dialogs, to gain pieces of information to be returned to the main activity. I can see how you could do it by having the onClicked from one dialog kick off the next bit of logic and so on, but that really chops up the "main program" logic vs having it all in a single sequence with "calls" out for the dialogs.
