android: how do I check if dialogfragment is showing

Question

I launch my dialog fragment using

FragmentTransaction ft = 
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
MyDialogFragment dialog = new MyDialogFragment()
dialog.         


        

Answer 1

I added this to be inside my custom dialog fragment, so I don't have to worry about any logic on the outside. Override the show() and onDismiss() methods, with a boolean shown field:

  private static boolean shown = false;

    @Override
    public void show(FragmentManager manager, String tag) {
        if (shown) return;

        super.show(manager, tag);
        shown = true;
    }

    @Override
    public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog) {
        shown = false;
        super.onDismiss(dialog);
    }

If you want to check whether it is shown or not, you can create a getter for the shown boolean.
