Dialog in Android

A dialog is a small window that prompts the user to make a decision or enter additional information. A dialog does not fill the screen and is normally used for events that require users to take an action before they can proceed.

In android, you can create following types of Dialogs:

• Alert Dialog
• DatePicker Dialog
• TimePicker Dialog
• Custom Dialog
