android: how do I check if dialogfragment is showing

Question

I launch my dialog fragment using

FragmentTransaction ft =  getFragmentManager().beginTransaction(); MyDialogFragment dialog = new MyDialogFragment() dialog.show(ft, "dialog"); 

then to get a handle on it I do

Fragment prev = getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("dialog"); 

but once I get prev, how do I check if it is showing?

Back Story

My problem is that my looping code keeps launching the dialog again and again. But if the dialog is already showing, I don't want it to launch again. This back story is just for context. The answer I seek is not: "move it out of the loop."

Answer 1

 if (dialogFragment != null      && dialogFragment.getDialog() != null      && dialogFragment.getDialog().isShowing()      && !dialogFragment.isRemoving()) {             //dialog is showing so do something   } else {      //dialog is not showing  } 

UPDATE: team can you also try the below call, i think it will work logically:

dialogFragment.isResumed 

that should mean its in the foreground displaying if im not mistaken.
