Getting User Input With Dialogs In Android
EditText in Dialog
We can create a dialog with Edittext and other views like Button, CheckBoxes, RadioButtons etc.
For this we need to Create A xml layout and and inflate it in AlertDialog
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editTextKeywordsToBlock"
android:hint="Enter 1 or more keywords. Use space berween two keywords"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp">
<Button
android:id="@+id/buttonBlockByKeyword"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="SAVE"
/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/buttonCancelBlockKeyword"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Cancel"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
And inflate this Layout at run time like following
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.block_by_keyword);
dialog.setTitle("Keyword To Block");
final EditText editTextKeywordToBlock=(EditText)dialog.findViewById(R.id.editTextKeywordsToBlock);
Button btnBlock=(Button)dialog.findViewById(R.id.buttonBlockByKeyword);
Button btnCancel=(Button)dialog.findViewById(R.id.buttonCancelBlockKeyword);
dialog.show();
Get The DATA:
String input = editTextKeywordToBlock.getText().toString();
We can set ClickListiner on Buttons As Well
btnBlock.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
// Your Code
}
});
