No, you would create a whole new Activity class that displays what you want to display. If you want it to look like an AlertDialog, add the following attribute to your element in the manifest: android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/themes.html#ApplyATheme > Then in my receiver class call the startActivity()?

Re: [android-beginners] Problems using AlertDialog in a onReceive() method
Thanks for the quick reply Mark. I am unsure what you mean by using a
dialog-themed Activity and startActivity(). I have added a Alarm in my mainclass
// Schedule the alarm!
AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
if (isOn) {
// Set alarm
am.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
pickedDateAndTime.getTimeInMillis(), 6, sender);
} else {
// Cancel alarm
am.cancel(sender);
Toast.makeText(AlarmClock.this, "Alarm cancelled",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
Then in my Manifest I added my Reciever Class in like this
Then I have the Receiver Code below. I am unsure how to go about adding a
dialog-themed Activity and startActivity. Would I create a whole new
Activity class that creates the AlertDialog. Then in my receiver class call
the startActivity()?
Once again thanks!

[android-beginners] Problems using AlertDialog in a onReceive() method
Hello Everyone,
I new to the SDK and have intermediate Java skills and I am having an issue
with adding an AlertDialog to a Receiver I have created. The application is
a basic alarm clock and I am using the following code as the receiving
class. I want to use an AlertDialog instead of Toast so that I can have a
snooze and an off button. It seems to be creating the AlertBox fine but when
I try to show it the program blows up. Below is the code I am trying to use,
any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Brad
public class RepeatingAlarm extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
try {
// Do something when alarm goes off
AlertDialog.Builder alertbox = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
alertbox.setMessage("Its time to get up");
// add a neutral button to the alert box and assign a click listener
alertbox.setNeutralButton("Ok",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
// click listener on the alert box
public void onClick(DialogInterface arg0, int arg1) {
// the button was clicked do something
}
});
alertbox.show();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("AlarmClock.java", "ERROR: ", e);
}
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.duck);
mp.start();
}
}
