Android/Kotlin：如何在从回收站视图中单击卡片时将活动显示为弹出窗口/对话框？

Question

I've searched for it everywhere but I didn't found a satisfying answer yet. So, I'd would like to know: How to show an activity as a popup/dialog when clicking on a card from a recyclerview? Is it made straight through the adapter? Do I need a second activity to do that or just another layout.xml is enough?

I've tried:

android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Dialog"

But it's throwing the following error everytime I click on the card from the recyclerview:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.softdevandre.marvelapi/com.softdevandre.marvelapi.ui.DetailCharacterActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #11 in com.softdevandre.marvelapi:layout/activity_detail_character: Binary XML file line #11 in com.softdevandre.marvelapi:layout/activity_detail_character: Error inflating class <unknown>

Thanks in advance.

To start activity as dialog defined it like this in AndroidManifest.xml :

<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" />

Use this property inside your activity tag to avoid that your Dialog appears in the recently used apps list

android:excludeFromRecents="true"

If you want to stop your dialog / activity from being destroyed when the user clicks outside of the dialog:

After setContentView() in your Activity use:

this.setFinishOnTouchOutside(false);

Now, call startActivity() on your recycler view card click it displays as a dialog, with the previous activity shown when the user presses the back button.

Note that if you are using ActionBarActivity (or AppCompat theme), you'll need to use @style/Theme.AppCompat.Dialog instead.
