I'm trying to use a managed dialog from inside a tab in a TabActivity and it is not behaving as I expected. The dialog is still being killed when I flip the screen. If I create the dialog from the TabActivity instead of its child (using getParent().showDialog() ) it is handled correctly.
Is there an easy way to work around this other than just creating all dialogs from the parent activity? On Wed, May 13, 2009 at 12:10 PM, Dianne Hackborn <[email protected]>wrote: > Don't do that.
