[android-developers] Re: dialog is getting dismissed when I am flipping the device
I'm trying to use a managed dialog from inside a tab in a TabActivity and it is not behaving as I expected. The dialog is still being killed when I flip the screen. If I create the dialog from the TabActivity instead of its child (using getParent().showDialog() ) it is handled correctly. Is there an easy way to work around this other than just creating all dialogs from the parent activity? On Wed, May 13, 2009 at 12:10 PM, Dianne Hackborn wrote: > Don't do that.

Hi Dianne, I suggested the way i followed to retain the state of the dialog, which may not be preferred. Thanks for the suggestion. It would be good if you could provide a sample as to how to retain the state after flipping, so that i could implement the same. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Don't do that. Do the proper thing of saving your state and restoring it, or use the managed dialogs API to get help from the system for that. Doing this just means your app will continue to not work in other situations where the system kills it, such as when it needs memory for something else that is temporarily in the foreground.

Flipping the device would recreate the activity. So the dialog is getting dismissed. Override the method onConfigurationChanged(). and for the activity, set the configChanges parameter to "keyboardHidden|Orientation" in the manifest file. doing this, will not recreate the activity. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
