No I haven't, but it looks promising.

I only intend to show it once. I need the user to make one simple
choice, the first time the app is run, then mark it done. But if it is
invisible and frozen, they won't make that choice.

So essentially, the first time OnResume is called after onCreate,
don't do a dialog? This might work, but I'm thinking there might be
failure cases with counting on onResume to be called exactly two
times.

In fact, if I choose preferences from the menu and start a
PreferenceActivity, I can also trigger this failure without onCreate
being called.

I'll try the showDialog method first.
