| Jul 9, 2018 at 18:44 | comment | added | Tin Man | From my reference: "A dialog is a type of modal window that appears in front of app content to provide critical information or ask for a decision". Also, it's categorized under components. And, yes, I still contend that the terms "app chooser" and "chooser dialog" only apply to the second component described on the page, the one in figure 2. | |
| Jul 9, 2018 at 16:33 | comment | added | moot | @tin So you're still saying your reference doesn't clearly call it an app chooser dialog? | |
| Jul 9, 2018 at 16:31 | comment | added | moot | @tin Again, you're misinterpreting or don't understand what you're quoting. In your reference, the word dialog is referring to the whole process, not the UI component. We're talking about your reference. It never says the chooser dialog is a different "entity". Entity is not a good word for UI or programming. | |

| Jul 7, 2018 at 12:32 | comment | added | Tin Man | Here's the part that says the chooser dialog is a different entity: "However, if the action to be performed could be handled by multiple apps and the user might prefer a different app each time**—...—you should explicitly show **a chooser dialog as shown in figure 2." | |
