OnCreate makes dialog #1 which is managed by the activity. So far so good. You rotate, forcing onCreate to get called again which creates a new dialog, #2. Meanwhile dialog #1 is being managed for you and is being re-shown. Now you have 2 dialogs. Since they have the same ID, the second is probably overriding the first in the Activity's management system causing a leak of the first. Simple fix: check if you Bundle is null in onCreate. If it is, you're a fresh start and can show a dialog for the first time. If it's not, you're being recreated and your managed dialog will show on it's own, so you don't have to do anything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
