I had taken a look at onSaveInstanceState, but it is called before the activity is destroyed. Note that I also tried to call dismissDialog in onPause *before* the call to super.onPause in case the default implementation of onPause was saving the state of managed dialogs. I can certainly switch over to using unmanaged dialogs, but I would be curious to know which callback is called before managed dialog state is stored.
Thanks for the reply!
