Can we interact with background activity when displaying a dialog over it in android

Question

I want to display a dialog over an activity but still want to interact with background activity to perform something, while the dialog is being displayed. How can this be done?

Answer 1

A Dialog is still part of the same Activity. They just use different windows.
Since you haven't posted any code, I'll answer you theoretically that when building you Dialog, you should keep a reference to the Activity that holds it. This way you would still be able to communicate with it.
