[android-developers] Re: How to display Dialog Box without showing the Activity!
There might be a better way, but this is how I do it: - assign an ID to the root layout of your activity, and set it to invisible - do showDialog in the onCreate method of your activity - in onDismissDialog of your activity, do rootLayout.setVisibility (View.VISIBLE) You get a black screen behind the dialog though. Guess you could fiddle with your activity background (e.g. transparent) to avoid this.

You could have a look at different themes e.g. android:theme=@android:style/Theme.Light.Panel (but that one doesn't have a title bar) You could try switching back to a normal theme afterwards, think it's Context.setTheme.

Thank You, I found a way by either android:theme=@android:style/Theme.Translucent Or android:theme=@android:style/Theme.Theme_Dialog On Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 7:49 PM, Lee lee.wil...@googlemail.com wrote: You could have a look at different themes e.g. android:theme=@android:style/Theme.Light.Panel (but that one doesn't have a title bar) You could try switching back to a normal theme afterwards, think it's Context.setTheme.
