For example, dialogs and pop-up windows all use this, and they work fine if called in onCreate or elsewhere. You must be doing something else to cause getWindow() to return null... though I honestly can't imagine what, since mWindow (which Activity.getWindow() returns) is set in activity.attach() (which is called before onCreate()), and never set to null after that. Also I would strongly strongly recommend using Dialog instead of directly adding a view to the window manager, especially if this window is going to receive key events, because Dialog implements a lot of the common framework-side higher-level behavior for windows... such as, for example, default key event handling. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
