Android: How to get a modal dialog or similar modal behavior?

Question

These days I\'m working on simulating modal dialog in Android. I\'ve googled a lot, there\'s much discussions but sadly there\'s not much options to get it modal. Here\'s so

Answer 1

This works for me: create an Activity as your dialog. Then,

1. Add this to your manifest for the activity:

   android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"

2. Add this to onCreate of your activity

   setFinishOnTouchOutside (false);

3. Override onBackPressed in your activity:

   @Override public void onBackPressed() { // prevent "back" from leaving this activity }

The first gives the activity the dialog look. The latter two make it behave like a modal dialog.
