But this works only in the case of short numbers. I was hoping for a
more general solution.

Using this technique, I always get a window leaked exception if the
dialog is visible and I'm turning my device from landscape to portrait
mode. The solution is to explicitly dismiss the dialog in onDestroy,
but I dont't like that as you have to keep track of the currently open
dialogs. My feeling is that android should do that for me.

My current solution is to use a helper class which keeps track of the
visible dialogs and dismisses them once the activity is destroyed.
However, to me this solution seems far from perfect.

Best regards,
Andreas
