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?

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.

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