How to set imageButtons to VISIBLE at onResume() method?

Question

I have an activity with some imageButtons in it. After I click on them i use setVisible(View.INVISIBLE); to have them gone. Now, when a user enter correct answer, a popup screen pops up with some info and OK button. I need to set all my imageButtons to be invisible when that popup window close. I tried to make some method:

private void removeImages(){
        b1.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        b2.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        b3.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        b4.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        b5.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        b6.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        b7.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}

and then call it onResume:

@Override
    protected void onResume() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onResume();
        removeImages();

    }

But it does not work, it removes all my imageButtons as soon as I start that activity. How to do that after my popup windows closes, after I press OK button on that popup?

As per the Activity Lifecycle , onResume() is called before the Actviivty is in the foreground. You have a couple different options. You can use startActviityForResult() when you click an ImageButton and check that value in onActivityResult() to set the Views how you wish. Or you could save a value in SharedPreferences to tell the Activity which Views to set invisible/visible in onResume()
