As it turns out, there seems to be a bug in the system. If you set the background of a list or a grid (even if it is a solid color) then that disappears when you touch around it. This is inspite of disabling cacheColorHint. If you really want to set the background of a list make the list/grid a

That works like a charm, except Doing it that way causes the application to briefly display the title bar before being removed(at least it is for me, anyway). In my opinion it looks very unprofessional. If I set the needed values in the xml file via the windowNoTitle method then this

I think that the easiest way to solve this problem is to set the theme in your manifest file to Theme.Dialog and then simply say requestWindowFeature ( Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE ); custom = new Custom(getApplicationContext ()); setContentView ( custom ); Works like a charm! :) On 22 avg., 07:37,

BTW: My dialogs were dying because I was opening them outside the onCreateDialog method. Once I moved them in there, everything worked great. Ref: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html On Aug 13, 10:41 am, CraigsRace craig...@gmail.com wrote: Well, I did it this way.

I kept running into this problem, and I think I have found the cause. Specifying an activity is a dialog in the manifest, for me, kept causing the background screen to be lost (not all the time - some dialogs would work ok). However, if I made my dialogs via code, Ie: sub-classed Dialog, and in

The parent window had a 120Kb jpeg picture on it. I used more compression on the jpeg and got it down to 32Kb, and bingo, the parent window stopped disappearing! Yay me! On Aug 6, 10:39 am, CraigsRace craig...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I wanted to change the frame around my Dialog.  So I set up
