Definition

Namespace:
Android.App
Assembly:
Mono.Android.dll

Overloads

ShowDialog(Int32, Bundle)
Obsolete.

ShowDialog(Int32)
Obsolete.

Simple version of #showDialog(int, Bundle) that does not take any arguments.

ShowDialog(Int32, Bundle)

Caution

deprecated

Show a dialog managed by this activity.

[Android.Runtime.Register("showDialog", "(ILandroid/os/Bundle;)Z", "")]
[System.Obsolete("deprecated")]
public bool ShowDialog (int id, Android.OS.Bundle? args);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("showDialog", "(ILandroid/os/Bundle;)Z", "")>]
[<System.Obsolete("deprecated")>]
member this.ShowDialog : int * Android.OS.Bundle -> bool

Parameters

id
Int32

The id of the managed dialog.

args
Bundle

Arguments to pass through to the dialog. These will be saved and restored for you. Note that if the dialog is already created, #onCreateDialog(int, Bundle) will not be called with the new arguments but #onPrepareDialog(int, Dialog, Bundle) will be. If you need to rebuild the dialog, call #removeDialog(int) first.

Returns

Boolean

Returns true if the Dialog was created; false is returned if it is not created because #onCreateDialog(int, Bundle) returns false.

Attributes
RegisterAttribute ObsoleteAttribute

Remarks

Show a dialog managed by this activity. A call to #onCreateDialog(int, Bundle) will be made with the same id the first time this is called for a given id. From thereafter, the dialog will be automatically saved and restored.

<em>If you are targeting android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#HONEYCOMB or later, consider instead using a DialogFragment instead.</em>

Each time a dialog is shown, #onPrepareDialog(int, Dialog, Bundle) will be made to provide an opportunity to do any timely preparation.

This member is deprecated. Use the new DialogFragment class with FragmentManager instead; this is also available on older platforms through the Android compatibility package.
