Question

Can someone help me or point me to some resource where there is an example to show a dialog box over the MapActivity. I can show it in a usual activity but I am having some difficulty with the same thing inside a Map.

My code is something like

  AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getBaseContext());
                        switch (id) {           
                        case GAME_OVER:         
                                builder.setMessage(R.string.gameovertext);
                                builder.setCancelable(false);
                                builder.setPositiveButton(
                                                R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                                                                finish();
                                                        }               
                                                });      
                                builder.setNegativeButton(R.string.no, 
                                                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                                                dialog.cancel(); 
                                        }
                                });       
                                return builder.create();
                        }
                        return null;

@prakashkut When i see you code you are returning

    builder.create();

this is return when in switch case GAME_OVER is match

in your method return

you should receive it in

AlertDialog alert=receive your builder.create(); Here after that you have to show it by below code

alert.show();

you can refer this example for Android AlertDialog Box to show in Activity.Here is Link for Example
