Answer 2

You could show a dialog:

 Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
 dialog.setTitle("Dialog Title");
 dialog.setContentView(R.layout.main);
 dialog.show();

However, I don't think this is what you're asking. This isn't the same question but it may be what you're looking for (look at the answer).
