Re: [android-developers] Re: Pop-up without using Toast.
I dont think I can show a dialog from a service...remember, I dont have an activity. My service starts when there is an incomming call...i then need to display a message without stopping the build in caller activity.

I have a service that runs in the background. I´d like to be able to show a message to the user when there is an incomming call. Atm i´m using a Toast, because as far as I know it is the only way to display something regardless of the current activity the user is running. But I have seen apps that can show entire views on top of others activities. How can this be done?. Any info would be great :) Cheers! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Pop-up without using Toast.
I would like to be able to do what they do in this app: http://www.threadabort.com/archive/2009/12/14/city-caller-id-my-first-android-app.aspx http://www.threadabort.com/archive/2009/12/14/city-caller-id-my-first-android-app.aspxIn the screenshot, they draw a view in the buttom of the built-in caller activity. My first idea was to start a new activity, with a transparent theme so that the built-in caller activity is still visible. However, as for as i know only one activity can take input from the user. I dont wont to stop the user from being able to take the call... Hope i made myself a little much clear this time? :) On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 5:56 PM, Mark Murphy mmur...@commonsware.comwrote: Klaus Kartou wrote: I dont think I can show a dialog from a service...remember, I dont have an activity.

You can call startActivity() from a Service. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Pop-up without using Toast.
Heh yeah, that is true :) But how do you display something over the in-call screen?
