When I use startActivity(Intent) to load an activity with the theme set to Theme.Dialog my application shows a Toast notification with the android:label for the new activity. Is there a way to turn this off? I noticed if I run a progress dialog in the onCreate of the new activity it doesn’t popup the Toast message but I don’t want the progress dialog or the Toast message.
I call the activity with:
Intent queriesIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), GetQueriesPopup.class);
startActivity(queriesIntent);
And my activity with the Theme.Dialog:
public class GetQueriesPopup extends ListActivity {
private static String server;
private static String suffix;
private static String project;
private static int qid;
private static String[] qidsArray;
private static String username;
private String[] queries;
private ProgressDialog mDialog;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
final SharedPreferences app_preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
server = app_preferences.getString("server", "none");
username = app_preferences.getString("username", "none");
project = app_preferences.getString("project", "none");
try
{
GetMap.showProgressDialog(true);
getRequest();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
GetMap.showProgressDialog(false);
AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
alertDialog.setTitle("GTWeb");
alertDialog.setMessage("Couldn't get a list of available queries, please check internet connection.");
alertDialog.setButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
{
Intent intent = null;
intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), GTWeb.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
alertDialog.show();
}
}
public void getRequest()
{
if (server.endsWith("/"))
{
suffix = "queries.aspx?usr=" + username + "&prj=" + project;
}
else
{
suffix = "/queries.aspx?usr=" + username + "&prj=" + project;
}
String url = server + suffix;
new HttpConnection().execute(url);
}
public void finishConnection(HttpConnection httpConn)
{
GetMap.showProgressDialog(false);
httpConn.cancel(true);
final SharedPreferences app_preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
try
{
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, queries));
LayoutParams dialogParams = this.getWindow().getAttributes();
dialogParams.height = 500;
dialogParams.width = 500;
dialogParams.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.LEFT;
dialogParams.dimAmount = 0;
this.getWindow().setAttributes(dialogParams);
}

editor.putBoolean("location", false);
editor.commit();
startActivityForResult(myIntent, 1);
}
});

I found out that it was actually the title of the listActivity showing before I moved/loaded the list. I haven’t found a way to get rid of it so I covered it with a ProgressDialog.
