Mobile Application Development (Android)

Dialogs in Android are small pop-up windows that require user acknowledgement. The Dialog class is the base class for creating dialogs, with subclasses like AlertDialog and ProgressDialog providing specific dialog types. Dialogs belong to an Activity and are shown using methods like showDialog() while being dismissed with dismiss(). AlertDialogs allow setting titles, messages, buttons, and lists. ProgressDialogs display loading progress bars or spinning wheels.
