Add waitForDialogToOpen()

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Could we please get a waitForDialogToOpen() analog to waitForDialogToClose()?

Unfortunately it is not possible to know if a dialog is open or not. The way in 
which waitForDialogToClose works is by checking if any (not a particular) 
rootview is removed from the stack.

Hey, in that case, there could be an API like: 

anyDialogOpen(), which returns true or false depending on the fact if there is 
any dialog that is open or not. 

OR

getOpenDialog() which returns the top most dialog or false and then, we query 
things like: dialog.text, dialog.buttons etc etc.

IMHO, the implementation for this could be quite similar to 
waitForDialogToClose. 

I find the usage of either of the above mentioned APIs useful in cases when we 
are expecting multiple dialogs and might not be sure of the order they appear.

Lets see what we can do.

Yeah, I was aware of how waitForDialogToClose() is implemented and that it does 
not really check for dialogs. But still a waitForDialogToOpen() that waits for 
the number of decor views to increase would be helpful in case you know nothing 
else than a dialog popping up will happen.

Could you please list the APIs to check if a dialog is opened and obtain the 
details of the opened dialog. 
Thanks
