I use following code:
public class Settings extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
private Activity activity;
private AlertDialog.Builder builder;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.settings);
Button bAdd = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bAdd);
bAdd.setOnClickListener(this);
activity = this;
builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
builder.setMessage("message")
.setTitle("title");
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.bAdd:
AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
break;
}
}
}
But for some reason my popup doesn't appear and does nothing at all.. Any ideas on what is causing this malfunction? Thanks!
You have to call show()
method instead of create()
.
Note: create()
method only creates instance of Dialog
but it won't show its.
One suggestion:
You can create method that returns Dialog
like this:
public Dialog createNewDialog(int type) {
AlertDialog dlg = null;
switch (type) {
case SOME_CONSTANT:
dlg = new AlertDialog.Builder(ActivityName.this / this)
.setTitle("Title")
.setMessage("Message")
.setPositiveButton("Yes", null)
.create();
break;
}
}
Then you can call it as:
createNewDialog(SOME_CONSTANT).show();
and your Dialog
will be shown.
Especially in your case you can reach your goal with this snippet of code:
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.bAdd:
createNewDialog(SOME_CONSTANT).show();
break;
}
}
Hope it helps.
I have this issue and maybe this answer can help someone.
I was running the code to show the AlertDialog on a non-ui thread. After using:
runOnUiThread(new Runnable()
{
@Override
public void run()
{
ShowAlert();
}
});
the AlertDialog worked.
