Keep Android Popup Windows always on top , even though activity goes in background and new activity comes back

Question

This is a popup window which is being shown from an activity A. User presses button on Activity A then Activity B comes on top. But problem is popup also goes behind activity B.

I want pop up to be always on top even though activity goes in back ground

 LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

LeadOffPopView = layoutInflater.inflate(
        R.layout.leadoffdetect, null);

PopUpWindow/Dialog is attached with your Activity WindowManager context, so when ever Your activity will go in background , PopUpWindow/Dialog will also get hide.

Therefore Please Use System Alert PopupWindow/Dialog for achieve this, you can create system dialog using below code:

AlertDialog newDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
                    .setMessage(text)
                    .setPositiveButton(R.string.ok, null)
                    .setCancelable(true)
                    .create();
newDialog.getWindow().setType(
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_DIALOG);
newDialog.getWindow().addFlags(
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);
newDialog.show();
