Open activity as pop-up and not in other screen in Android?

Question

I am working with Bluetooth Chat sample code. In sample app the Device opens up in another screen but I have implemented the same code with the difference that DeviceListActivity is called as soon as the app is started but this opens it in another screen and I want that it should be opened as pop-up in Bluetooth chat sample code.

Can someone let me know how to open Activity as pop-up?

Solution

in your manifest file, set your activity theme to dialog

 <activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">

Thanks, this solved the problem. Actually, I just forgot to look into the manifest file of Bluetooth Chat sample.
