androidoncreateonresume

onCreate and onResume were called when app direct user to an activity


I have an activity that lets the user to insert data from a custom dialog and a listview that display the data. After inputting the data in the dialog, the onResume is supposed to update the listview. The issue is that when the app directs the user to the activity, it calls both the onCreate and onResume, and it does not call the onResume after the user insert data from the dialog. What went wrong and how to solve it?

                Toast.makeText(requireContext(), "Data has been added", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(requireContext(), "Please insert all the fields correctly", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }
    }

Solution

  • Once you are done taking input you should dismiss the dialog. In your case after calling insert() call SubjectListDialog.this.dismiss()

    Update - The dialog fragment does not pauses the activity it is just like a fragment is inflated inside the view bounds of the activity itself. This can be further confirmed with the fact that the it is added to screen using the activity's own fragment manager as done in your code subjectListDialog.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "subject list dialog");
