title: When should i dismiss dialogs?
body: <p>I've done some reading about dialogs in Android and I have an open issue:</p>
  
  <p>When I'm using the Activity's methods that handle the dialogs (such as: <code>onCreateDialog(...)</code>), should I or shouldn't I dismiss the dialog in the <code>onPause()</code>?
  Or maybe I should dismiss it only if I retained it - made an Activity member variable that has a reference to this dialog?</p>
  
  <p>I've found this answer: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/2851833/501560">https://stackoverflow.com/a/2851833/501560</a> saying that I need to explicitly call the <code>dismiss()</code> method, but I've read some other resources saying that the Activity should handle it by itself...</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
