Using AlertDialog inside one of these games #14

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Sorry for posting this here but I assumed that someone using the framework 
might be able to help.

Does anyone know how I can show an AlertDialog within a game screen using the 
Canvas version of the framework? I've tried adding a showMessage() method to 
various parts of the code but always get the old error:

Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()

because the call is always being made on the renderThread rather than the UI 
thread. Can anyone help with a good way to do this?

NVM, got it in the end. I had to create a custom message object which 
implements Runnable and then send that to a function in AndroidGame which calls 
runOnUiThread on it.
