There were some of my queries and some clarifications that I wanted to be sorted out. It would be great if you could look into some of these. These are some of my findings after reproducing the error by assigning a dummy value to free_space. 1. The Modal Dialog appears at startup and asks us to go to the Journal. The dialog appears again whenever I perform any action in the Journal including when I erase some data,mark as favorites or exit an activity.However I am able to open up different entities present in the Journal. Even transfer to favorites view takes place. Problem: The Dialog appears repetitively. Resolution: When the function ModalAlert() is being called ie at check_available_space. I intend to display the Modal Dialog only once. Hence, I require to store a temporary variable that will count the the Modal Dialog appears. For this I made the following changes to the code. <a href="http://paste.ubuntu.com/497021/" target="_blank">http://paste.ubuntu.com/497021/</a> I suspect that when i variable that I have used here is always initialised to be 1 and thus it doesn't give the desired output. Please suggest a method so that I can declare a static/extern type of variable. 2. In the Modal Dialog I was trying to get a provision for a Continue button which would exit the modal dialog and would lead me to the current view/favorites view. However, I was stuck up with its coding. Please check. <a href="http://paste.ubuntu.com/496530/" target="_blank">http://paste.ubuntu.com/496530/</a> 3. Next thing, what I wanted to implement was to give a small alert/notification instead of the modal dialog indicating the % free memory or a warning. I am also attaching the screenshots.The image 1 is the output when I make the changes listed in 1 while 2 is the output for Point No. 2. Waiting for your valuable inputs, Regards, Mukul Gupta Research Engineer, SEETA <div style="display: inline;"></div> </div>
