[android-developers] Re: Displaying parameterized text in AlertDialog

WIth managed dialogs, onCreateDialog is called only the first time the
dialog is shown. If you want to show the dialog again and display a
message that's different from when the dialog was created, override
onPrepareDialog and call setMessage from there (based on the dialog's
id if necessary).

HTH,
Jef
