I see a method isShowing() but if the Dialog instance has been dismissed - won't that instance be gone
and therefore dialog.isShowing() would result in an error. the problem i'm trying to make sure doesn't happen is the Asynctask fnishing after the dialog closes and I try to write to a dialog control that no longer exists.
