Yes, I read Android docs about dialogs. However, this still does not answer my trivial questions. I also do not want to block UI thread. Blocking UI thread means you block message pump and UI becomes unresponsive. What I want is to call the function from UI thread that would popup the dialog and this function will not return until the dialog is closed. It is obvious that this modal dialog internally must implement message pump and break this message loop when user closes the dialog. Something similar to DialogBox or MessageBox Windows APIs. I understand that I can implement OnClickListener, but this will effectively call another function in the activity class that pops up this dialog. I cannot this way to return to the same execution point in the function that popped up the dialog.
If Android does not have truly modal dialog I wonder what the suggested approach to the following standard situation. Say you have function that at certain point needs to prompt user for some input via a modal dialog and then must use the input from the dialog to continue its execution.
