You can use the various options in WindowManager.LayoutParams to control how your window is sized (you'll want WRAP_CONTENT to not be full screens), where it is placed on screen (absolute position and/or gravity constants to place relative to an edge), etc. On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 11:34 PM, sheng

The activity that is no longer visible could have been destroyed by the OS. However, since your top-activity is (partially) translucent, this probably won't happen. If you really need to communicate back to the activity in the background, there are various methods: 1. Use a static variable that
