Android: Dialog Box with an EditText
A simple code snippet I found over at http://www.androidsnippets.com/, shows how to create a dialog box with an EditText in it. I needed it to save a user’s login name into the preferences when first starting a program, but it pretty much has a limitless amount of uses
AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
alert.setTitle("Title");
alert.setMessage("Message");
// Set an EditText view to get user input
final EditText input = new EditText(this);
alert.setView(input);
alert.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
String value = input.getText();
// Do something with value!
}
});
alert.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
// Canceled.
}
});
alert.show();
