A checked exception is one that must be caught from the perspective of the java compiler (extends Exception). An unchecked exception doesn't have to be caught (extends RuntimeException). The java compiler will tell you if a checked exception can be thrown and oblige you to handle it. Is this what you're talking about? If you show a dialog in in onCreate, I'm pretty sure the activity lifecycle is still going to complete. I don't think you can prevent that. If you don't want the user to interact with the activity at all after you show a dialog, I'd recommend putting a call to finish() in the dismiss and cancel handlers for your dialog so that the activity will be on its way out ASAP.
