android - What is difference between custom dialog and activity as dialog means "Theme.Dialog"? -


here question real difference between custom dialog , activity made theme dialog , opening dialog, have used both of these, of small difference understand follows

  1. coding remains in other file in activity , in same file in custom dialog(if haven't created new class file dialog),
  2. activity stays in activity stack, while dialog not.

is there other difference? y need custom dialog in place of activity dialog , visa versa,

my current problem when click on listitem , opens new activity (as dialog here), , when press button , click again on item "stops unexpectedly", , couldn't understand error, error below

my code listview 

@override     protected void oncreate(bundle savedinstancestate) {         // todo auto-generated method stub         super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);         setcontentview(r.layout.my_order_list);         initcontrols();         loadlist();     }      private void initcontrols() {         progress = new progressdialog(this);         progress.setmessage("loading...");         list = (listview) findviewbyid(r.id.my_order_list);      }      private void loadlist() {         staticitems.myorderadapter = new myorderslazyadapter(myorders.this,                 staticitems.myorderlistarr);         list.setadapter(staticitems.myorderadapter);         list.setonitemlongclicklistener(new onitemlongclicklistener() {              @override             public boolean onitemlongclick(adapterview<?> arg0, view arg1,                     int arg2, long arg3) {                 // todo auto-generated method stub                 // starts new activity after process                 arraylist<string> str = new arraylist<string>();                 str.add("loadordersdetail");                 str.add("2");                 new mytask(str).execute();                 return false;             }         });     }

does happens because of have used new activity instead of dialog??

dialog , activity different things. example, service or broadcast receiver can start activity, cannot start dialog. in general, dialog belongs activity , activity controls lifecycle of dialog (ie: when created, shown, dismissed, etc.). note: can have dialog doesn't belong activity, special case.

there times when want show user looks dialog, need use activity that. example notification. sometimes, when user chooses notification notification bar, want show him dialog. can't start dialog notification. instead, use activity uses theme.dialog. activity behaves activity, user it looks dialog (ie: doesn't take entire screen, has transparent background user can see activity underneath it, etc.)

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers
