Delayed execution in an Android activity

I would like to trigger showing a dialog X seconds after something happens in an activity (resumed, button clicked, etc.)

One option I considered: instead of attaching a dialog to an existing view, I can create a transparent view (with <activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar" as mentioned here) and have it create a dialog.

This is nice since I can create this activity with a delayed intent.

I need to make sure to call finish() when the dialog is closed.

I'm not sure how to have this happen only if the original activity is still active.

use handler.postDelayed(runnable, delayedms);

this is one of the methods, you can also use AlaramManager.

For AlaramManager your activity need not be active. and handler it should be.
