• Hi David,

  I believe you can achive what you want with this code:

  var infoWin = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
      backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
      top: 0,
      left: 0,
      opacity: 1,
      zIndex: 100
  });
  
  infoWin.open({modal:true});
  

  You can add buttons, text and images to this window as you wish, even a button which calls infoWin.close() instead of using the back button on your device.

  If you are looking for a normal alert, you can use this code:

  var alertDialog = Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({
      title: 'Are you sure?',
      message: 'Do you want to do this?',
      buttonNames: ['Yes','No'],
      cancel: 1
  });
  
  alertDialog.addEventListener('click',function(e){
      if (e.index == 0) {
          //code to execute when the user clicked Yes.
      }else{
          //code to execute when the user clicked No
      }
  });
  
  alertDialog.show();
  

  This should pop a standard alert dialig in Android for you where you can check what the user did answer. The number of buttons are optional I think.

  You can ofcourse omit the dialog listener, and use the alert for information only.

  Hope this helps,
  Harald

• To create a true window that looked like a popup (e.g. didn't fully cover the other window) - I used the following code:

          var w = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
              height:styles.ui.platformHeight-borderSpace,
              width:styles.ui.platformWidth-borderSpace,
              backgroundColor:'white',
              borderWidth:3,
              borderColor:'#336699',
               left:borderSpace/2,
              right:borderSpace/2,
              top:borderSpace/2,
              bottom:borderSpace/2,
              layout:'vertical'
          });
  

  borderSpace is set based on how much smaller the popup should be.
