I have a main activity.In that activity i called to alertdialog activity.On that alert dialog i give the users to select one from two option.


this is alert dialog activity.



this is working fine.Anyway if added the below two line end Oncreate method of the main activity it doesn't wait untill the alert dialog finishes.it goes to contact activity .So i don't have chance to select option from alert dialog.how to avoid this situation?

Right: dialogs in Android are asynchronous, they don't stop further code execution. You need to move that code into a separate method that is called only after the user has made her choice.

I change the class as below.But it doesn't go to Conatct.xml even i select POST in alert dialog .That mean when control goes to onActivityResult() method it doesn't come to the oncreate method ?I need to know why ?I used debug also ,it doesn't come to the oncreate method.

For starters, strings are compared using the "equals" method, not with the "==" operator.

When I said "separate method", I meant exactly that - not the onCreate method.

And when I said "... that is called only after the user made her choice", I meant exactly that. How do you imagine a variable that is set long after onCreate has run could in any way influence the execution of onCreate (even if that were the right thing to do, which it is not)?

If Test expects a result back from Settings, then it should start Settings not with startActivity, but with startActivityForResult - that will allow Settings to pass data back to Test. And then that callback method should do whatever needs doing after the user has made her choice. That way there is also no need to use an Application class for passing around data.

... and the fact that you're asking the question indicates that you're not yet fully acquainted with the Android Activity lifecycle. I suggest you read through the javadocs of the android.app.Activity class, several times if need be - it explains all this in detail, particularly when the onCreate method will be called (and when it won't).

Thanks Ulf and Steve.Actually my problem is like this.I have develop mobile application.There are several network providers.So when the app runs i chcecked the network provider type in oncreate method.I used TelephonyManager->getNetworkOperatorName() to get network operator.Depend on that i used if else to select network operator.

If(A){

}else if(B){

}else if{

....

the problem is my now is ,i need to get the sim type.So i give user to chance select their sim type whether its Pre paid or Post paid.When user select the sim type i saved it .So my problem is now when i used above code it doesn't wait until user selection.I need a way to wait the code runnng until user select his choise.User choise must select only first time.Then i update the database.
If there is a better way to impliment this code please let me know.

Isn't that what this entire topic is about? Please reread my posts carefully, and take the time to consider how you need to change your code in order to incorporate my suggestions.

anyway we can't spot oncreate methos ,
So first i check the whether user already exist in DB.

if (No)
so inside oncreate i go to another methos and get user choise.

while doing that oncreate may finished.So i have to remove other part of code from oncreate ,because they need the user choise.I moved them to other method.After user selection it goes automatically to
onActivityResult method.So i call the my other part of code there.Isn't ok ?

Else
dirctly called the other method


is this ok?

Hi Sameera,

The forum isn't really the right place for code reviews. Doing so is time consuming and the people who post here are volunteers, and have their own jobs and projects to work on. You will be better off using the forum for specific questions and answers rather than getting code reviews.
