I want to show a pop-up message after completing my current task, which is running in the background. The pop-up message must be poped up on current activity.

How i can achieve this?

  • The title should reflect what the problem is about. "Hi,Android developers" doesn't do that. Please remember that for the future. Thanks. – Joachim Sauer Feb 28 '11 at 07:17

AlertDialog is probably what you are looking for

You can also use Toast.

You can use either Toast or AlertDialog.

Toast is less intrusive, and cannot take any input, usually best to alert the user of a timer going off or something similar, they disappear by themselves.

AlertDialog is a bit more intrusive since they (usually) don't go away by them selfs, but they can take input, but from my experience they are best for picking an option like "are you sure you want to exit?" or displaying a loading bar since you can put images and other widgets in them.

But another way would be a Notification.

Although this doesn't "pop-out" it is another possibility and depending on your app could be a better choice.

  • as you said think its better to use notification if running a service or alert dialog if its an activity. – GoodSp33d Feb 28 '11 at 07:54

Hi
You can use handle

The way is :
in your background class

protected Handler m_Handle = null;


than you finish your task add
m_Handle.sendEmptyMessage(for ex: PopupType );


in your activity 

public Handler myHandle = new Handler()
{
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg)
    {
      show dialog
    }
}
