Android Question [Solved] Set view to topmost of an activity?

[ducphu]

Hi all,

If you know about Candy Crush or Farm Heroes game, when you are out of move (lose a game), a popup will appear asking whether you want to buy more moves or power up...

I want to design something similar. My main activity (Activity1) also has an variable called "moves" and it will be reduced as the player plays. If moves = 0, I want to have a popup appear. My question is:

1. If I design the popup as an label in the same activity, how can I set it to topmost of Activity1, and dim and disable all other views in the activity?
2. Can I design the popup in a new activity (Activity2), if can, then how to make Activity2 transparent so that I till can see Activity1 as background, i,e Activity2 on top of Activity1

You can put it on a semi-transparent panel. set the color of the panel to black and the alpha to 50% or so. set the panel top and left to 0 and the width to 100%x, set its height to 100%y. Make sure to set the label of the parent to the panel if you do it in the designer. Than when you want to display it, do: movespan.bringtofront (or whatever you name the panel). When finished, use: movespan.sendtoback.
