Justin, The behavior I am looking for which I think not supported by Android: Activity A is running which I do not have much control, it doesn't belong to me. I start Activity B whose only purpose is to display some dialogs. When I start Activity B, Activity A's onPause is called and this onPause draws the screen blank. So I was expecting some solution where Activity A's onPause is not called. I know this is not normally possible with Android's concept, so I was hoping if some developers in this forum has some tweaks. thanks.
