You can use nested dialogs. You can call a dialog from another dialog. Add listeners to your first dialog buttons and in those listeners, dismiss the first dialog and starts the other one. What's the problem in doing that?

You can launch the second dialog from the onClick handler of the 1st AlertDialog.

When you say Facebook Login do you mean the facebook android sdk? Also using less hacks is always good especially for UX. I wouldn't use nested dialogs also if you are using the facebook sdk then it actually loads up a separate activity. I would focus on making the app feel natural and not try any fancy hacks. This is something a lot of android developers forget to do which can be super frustrating to see.

Anyways i suggest you change the method by which people add the page to favorites. maybe use the menu button with menu, or maybe have a button or checkbox on the page not requiring any dialog.

  • thanks, yes m using the facebook android sdk, also the facebook login webview has a close button, so u think that would suffice? – Pratik Bhat Oct 27 '11 at 08:03
  • i dont think so since some users will have the native app handle the click and others will have a webview so make sure that the native app can be handled in the same manner. – Maurycy Nov 01 '11 at 23:49
  • i used the force_auth parameter in authorize function so that webview wil always show up – Pratik Bhat Nov 02 '11 at 04:41
