Answer 1

Dismiss the dialog when activity destroy

@Override
protected void onDestroy()
{
    super.onDestroy();
    if (pDialog!=null && pDialog.isShowing()){
        pDialog.dismiss();
    }
}

Answer 2

This could help.

if (! isFinishing()) {

    dialog.show();

    }

Answer 3

Had the problem where I finished an Activity when a ProgressDialog was still shown.

So first hide the Dialog and then finish the activity.

Answer 4

Generally this issue occurs due to progress dialog : you can solve this by using any one of the following method in your activity:

 // 1):
          @Override
                protected void onPause() {
                    super.onPause();
                    if ( yourProgressDialog!=null && yourProgressDialog.isShowing() )
                  {
                        yourProgressDialog.cancel();
                    }
                }

       // 2) :
         @Override
            protected void onDestroy() {
                super.onDestroy();
                if ( yourProgressDialog!=null && yourProgressDialog.isShowing()
               {
                    yourProgressDialog.cancel();
                }
            }

Answer 5

Best solution is just add dialog in try catch and dismiss dialog when exception occur

Just use below code

 try {
        dialog.show();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        dialog.dismiss();
    }

Answer 6

Best solution is put this before showing progressbar or progressDialog

if (getApplicationContext().getWindow().getDecorView().isShown()) {

  //Show Your Progress Dialog

}
