Hi Angus, You have two options:
(a) Use a custom Dialog implementation. Show it. And then, use "postDelayed" method to "hide" is after specific time The dialogs are modal. (b) Use a custom UI and then use WindowManager to "addView" at specific location. and then, again, use "postDelayed" to "hide" after specified time. These views are modeless. Hope that helps. -- Happy Hacking, Gaurav Vaish www.mastergaurav.com ------------------------------ On Apr 19, 5:54 pm, "angushir...@googlemail.com" <angushir...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > Dear all, > I need to display an alert message for no more than a > half a second.
