Can't try it here, but I think I had some success but calling 'dismiss' ( or was dismissDialog... or rather removeDialog ??? ) on the dialog in the onClick method. That way, the dialog will really be closed, and a new one will be created on the next ShowDialog.
But it's strange that the onPrepareDialog failed for you, because it is exactly what I'm finally doing, with no trouble. The only difference is that I also set the text in the OnCreateDialog, for the first time the dialog is created ( I'm not sure onPrepareDialog is called the first time ).
