In my app i am using DialogFragment to show a dialog for some seconds, now when i change my device's screen orientation, app crashes because the context i am using in my Dialog fragment goes null. After searching i found that in my activity's onDestroy() method i should dismiss that dialog if it is already showing so that my app doesn't crash. Now i need to get that dialog that is showing how i can get it? so that i can implement a check on it Any suggestions will be appreciated

  • You can handle it by overriding `onConfigurationChanged` https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes.html#HandlingTheChange .This will avoid the activity to get restarted again and hence context will not become null. – Sunil Sunny Jun 22 '17 at 05:44

add in your menifest file 

"android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize"

in the actvity tag like below : 

<activity
            android:name=".activities.HistoryDefectDetail"
            android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize" />
