I found the problem... and a solution
In my activity, i show the dialog using:
this.showDialog(R.layout.waiting_dialog);
(where 'this' is the current activity).
Then this code, part of my activity, dismisses it:
// Do something with bmToSave and insert it into the MediaStore.
final PictureInserter ph = new PictureInserter(getApplicationContext
(), bmToSave) {
@Override
public void ready(String path, Uri uri) {
this.dismissDialog(R.layout.alert_dialog_waiting);
}
After an orientation change, the problem is that 'this' is still the
old destroyed acivity, when the 'ready' is called back when the
picture is properly inserted into the MediaStore.
I changed the code as follows:
// Do something with bmToSave and insert it into the MediaStore.
final PictureInserter ph = new PictureInserter(getApplicationContext
(), bmToSave) {
@Override
public void ready(String path, Uri uri) {
ACTIVE_INSTANCE.dismissDialog(R.layout.alert_dialog_waiting);
}
where 'ACTIVE_INSTANCE' is set to 'this' in the onCreate (and set to
'null' in the onDestroy).
This works fine.
