Apps Manifest dialog

[oosgearoo]

Evening all

My Android books arrived this afternoon, one of them
"Beginning Android4 application development" start's of with an app that does the Life Cycle of an app adding in loads of
[HIGH]public void onStart()
{
super.onStart();
Log.d(tag, "In the onstart()_ event;
}[/HIGH]Along with many more (application compiles and runs)

He/She next says that one can get the application to display as a dialog by adding/changing to "[HIGH]android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"[/HIGH]
In the android manifest. (again compiles and runs)

I cant get the dialog to show anyone any ideas? Is this correct?

[out of ideas]

thats to get an activity to show as a dialog, not the whole thing.

Correct but I see no dialog, never mind I get the idea of the life-cycle having programed before.



Edit:
I see the dialog now on the hardware device please ignore.
Many Thanks
