Displaying alerts in Activity.onCreate(..)

Question

Hi:

I am new to Android and this is my first question here so please go easy on me.

Is it possible to check some condition inside onCreate() of an Activity and display an AlertDialog?

I am creating an AlertDialog anonymously in Oncreate() and calling show on that instance but the AlertDialog is never displayed.

Answer 1

It is definitely possible, try this:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    builder.setMessage("Stackoverflow!").create().show();
}
