Even if you dismiss your dialog so that you can recreate it, there seems to be a race condition between the system destroying the dialog and the lifecycle methods where you would dismiss it. Very rarely I get a crash report about dismissing a non-existent dialog at configuration change time.

I suggest catching and ignoring the exception in Dialog.dismiss() just to handle the race condition. That's what I've done and it's cleared up my problem.

Wasn't that very close to the solution I suggested to you? You can see that I mentioned Config changes - orientation, but presumed that you were more familiar with the subject and did not want to go in more details. – Zelimir May 02 '11 at 10:26
