Why?

Why not show one of them, with a menu choice or button or something to
access the other one? That way, you are 50% right (it may be what they
want is the thing you show automatically). With your current approach,
you are 100% wrong (unless they think your dialog is a sexy beast and
just want to ogle it and not actually use it).

To look at it another way, your current approach requires a minimum of
two clicks to get the user where they want. Displaying one activity
with a menu/button to the other means half the time, one click gets
them where they want, and two clicks the other half of the time.
