Re: [android-developers] Dialog dismiss()

I tried this and it's actually worse now. It crashes everytime I
rotate, not just occasionally like before.

My pattern looks like this now:

private static final int DIALOG_GAMES = 0;

final Runnable updateCurrentGames = new Runnable()
{
@Override
public void run()
{
dismissDialog( Games.DIALOG_GAMES );
updateUi();
}
};

private void getCurrentGames()
{
showDialog( Games.DIALOG_GAMES );

new Thread()
{
@Override
public void run()
{
currentGames();
handler.post( updateCurrentGames );
}
}.start();
}

@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog( final int id )
{
Dialog dialog = null;

switch( id )
{
case DIALOG_GAMES:
dialog = ProgressDialog.show( this, "Working . . .", "Getting
current games.." );
break;
}

return dialog;
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy()
{
super.onDestroy();
dismissDialog( Splash.DIALOG_SPLASH );
}

Also tried it without the dismissDialog() call in onDestroy().

The exceptional condition is:

09-09 20:05:12.626: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(3831): Caused by:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: no dialog with id 0 was ever shown
via Activity#showDialog

At this point I'm going with

setRequestedOrientation( ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT );

It's a sure thing.

Good luck to the next guy.. I can't make it work.
