I would need an example code to create a popup in an activity. In the popup I would like to insert a number in a edittext and return it to the main activity.
Is this possible?
Please look an Google for this kind of questions:

I want to show an input dialog exactly like this:
On the android dev page I couldn't find a fitting dialog type? (Alerts, simple dialogs and confirmation dialogs)
I would appreciate it if someone could explain which component this is.
You should use simple Dialog fragment.
Refer following link http://stacktips.com/tutorials/android/android-dialog-fragment-example

I wanted code for both pop up window and code to embbed smileys in an application.
(same as in case of yahoo which has smileys.how to code for it and how to store them in database and all)
Take a look at the PopupWindow. You'll want to use it in similar fashion to this tutorial here: http://www.mobilemancer.com/2011/01/08/popup-window-in-android/.
I would populate it with your drawable images, and then attach to each image you create a onClickListener that would insert the smiley into whatever text window your using.
I'm not an Android expert, and I'm still learning myself, but this is one approach I would investigate.
i want to create message box which must be seen on current screen(Ex i am playing song or creating message on that screen also that message must got pop-up/seen)like notification..
so.please help me to achieve this.....
Thanks in Advance--
You can use a Toast to accomplish what you wish, it will be visible over the activity/screen and can be styled with a custom layout.
You may also want to read the Android Developer documentation on Notifying the User for other alternatives & common methods of notification on Android.
I agree that a normal android notification would be better. IF you do want to do this though, take a look at the "Creating a Custom Dialog" section here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#CustomDialog
I was trying to make my UI as neat as possible,
The user should enter some values into a circuit diagram,so I was trying to make the user click the resistor for example, then, a pop-up window appear with an EditText field in it for the user to enter the value of the resistor.
So far I was able to do that by using two separate setContentView()s, one for the circuit diagram and the other holds the EditText field, but I want the layout with the circuit Diagram to be visible in the background while the pop-up is the one in focus.
something like this (random example from the web):

You are looking for a dialog. See creating dialogs.
Actually smsmpopup uses an activity with theme dialog in it's manifest. Check the src code.
yes.. u want something as a Dialog... but if its an activity.. u can set this paramenter in the androidmanifest file..
android:name=".Pick_Color"
android:label="Pick a Color !"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Dialog">
this will make the screen as neat and Dialogish as possible
How to open a similar popup like the one that appears when you click on a contact icon in contacts? Is Dialog suitable for that? Or maybe PopupWindow?
It's a quickaction. Check this link.
It looks like PopupWindow is th way to go.
