At the moment I have a widget which, when the user clicks on it, opens a login screen. I want to skip this step so that the user can go straight to the functionality of the app. The way I have seen other apps do this is with pop-up dialogs that allow the user’s to input without opening the entire activity.
How would I go about getting a dialog to pop-up when the user clicks something in the widget. At the moment I have the custom dialog class made (even though a normal dialog would do), and I have tried calling it just like a normal activity but at no surprise this didn’t work.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Here’s the ouput when the error occurs (the black box is the package name):
You can’t really show a Dialog from the Widget. You should start an Activity, but it can be styled as dialog using
Theme.Dialog.
