Zusammenfassung:A method of displaying media content through a user interface of a communication device using an Activity-based Overlay technique. The method includes detecting a first user interaction with a user interface and responsively initiating a timer, the timer being configured to expire upon elapsing of a predefined delay period. An Overlay containing the media content is then rendered on a display of the user interface. The method further includes monitoring, during the predefined delay period, the operating system in order to detect a second user interaction with the user interface. Upon expiration of the timer, it is determined whether a detection of the second user interaction with the user interface occurred during the predefined delay period. A backing Activity associated with the Overlay is then invoked based upon this determination.
