The answer is
I will add to @Aaron's answer with an approach that gives you the opportunity to style the dialog box in a better way. Here is an adjusted example:
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getContext());
builder.setTitle("Title");
// I'm using fragment here so I'm using getView() to provide ViewGroup
// but you can provide here any other instance of ViewGroup from your Fragment / Activity
View viewInflated = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.text_inpu_password, (ViewGroup) getView(), false);
// Set up the input
final EditText input = (EditText) viewInflated.findViewById(R.id.input);
// Specify the type of input expected; this, for example, sets the input as a password, and will mask the text
builder.setView(viewInflated);
// Set up the buttons
builder.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
m_Text = input.getText().toString();
}
});
builder.setNegativeButton(android.R.string.cancel, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
builder.show();
Here is the example layout used to create the EditText dialog:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="@dimen/content_padding_normal">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:id="@+id/input"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="@string/hint_password"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textPassword" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
</FrameLayout>
The final result:
How about this EXAMPLE? It seems straightforward.
final EditText txtUrl = new EditText(this);
// Set the default text to a link of the Queen
txtUrl.setHint("http://www.librarising.com/astrology/celebs/images2/QR/queenelizabethii.jpg");
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setTitle("Moustachify Link")
.setMessage("Paste in the link of an image to moustachify!")
.setView(txtUrl)
.setPositiveButton("Moustachify", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
String url = txtUrl.getText().toString();
moustachify(null, url);
}
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
}
})
.show();
@LukeTaylor: I currently have the same task at hand (creating a popup/dialog that contains an EditText)..
Personally, I find the fully-dynamic route to be somewhat limiting in terms of creativity.
FULLY CUSTOM DIALOG LAYOUT :
Rather than relying entirely upon Code to create the Dialog, you can fully customize it like so :
1) - Create a new Layout Resource file.. This will act as your Dialog, allowing for full creative freedom!
NOTE: Refer to the Material Design guidelines to help keep things clean and on point.
2) - Give ID's to all of your View elements.. In my example code below, I have 1 EditText, and 2 Buttons.
3) - Create an Activity with a Button, for testing purposes.. We'll have it inflate and launch your Dialog!
public void buttonClick_DialogTest(View view) {
AlertDialog.Builder mBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
// Inflate the Layout Resource file you created in Step 1
View mView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.timer_dialog_layout, null);
// Get View elements from Layout file. Be sure to include inflated view name (mView)
final EditText mTimerMinutes = (EditText) mView.findViewById(R.id.etTimerValue);
Button mTimerOk = (Button) mView.findViewById(R.id.btnTimerOk);
Button mTimerCancel = (Button) mView.findViewById(R.id.btnTimerCancel);
// Create the AlertDialog using everything we needed from above
mBuilder.setView(mView);
final AlertDialog timerDialog = mBuilder.create();
// Set Listener for the OK Button
mTimerOk.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick (View view) {
if (!mTimerMinutes.getText().toString().isEmpty()) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "You entered a Value!,", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Please enter a Value!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
// Set Listener for the CANCEL Button
mTimerCancel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick (View view) {
timerDialog.dismiss();
}
});
// Finally, SHOW your Dialog!
timerDialog.show();
// END OF buttonClick_DialogTest
}
Piece of cake! Full creative freedom! Just be sure to follow Material Guidelines ;)
I hope this helps someone! Let me know what you guys think!
I found it cleaner and more reusable to extend AlertDialog.Builder to create a custom dialog class. This is for a dialog that asks the user to input a phone number. A preset phone number can also be supplied by calling setNumber() before calling show().
InputSenderDialog.java
public class InputSenderDialog extends AlertDialog.Builder {
public interface InputSenderDialogListener{
public abstract void onOK(String number);
public abstract void onCancel(String number);
}
private EditText mNumberEdit;
public InputSenderDialog(Activity activity, final InputSenderDialogListener listener) {
super( new ContextThemeWrapper(activity, R.style.AppTheme) );
@SuppressLint("InflateParams") // It's OK to use NULL in an AlertDialog it seems...
View dialogLayout = LayoutInflater.from(activity).inflate(R.layout.dialog_input_sender_number, null);
setView(dialogLayout);
mNumberEdit = dialogLayout.findViewById(R.id.numberEdit);
setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
if( listener != null )
listener.onOK(String.valueOf(mNumberEdit.getText()));
}
});
setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
if( listener != null )
listener.onCancel(String.valueOf(mNumberEdit.getText()));
}
});
}
public InputSenderDialog setNumber(String number){
mNumberEdit.setText( number );
return this;
}
@Override
public AlertDialog show() {
AlertDialog dialog = super.show();
Window window = dialog.getWindow();
if( window != null )
window.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
return dialog;
}
}
dialog_input_sender_number.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:padding="10dp">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
android:paddingBottom="20dp"
android:text="Input phone number"
android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Large" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/numberLabel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/title"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
android:text="Phone number" />
<EditText
android:id="@+id/numberEdit"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/numberLabel"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
android:inputType="phone" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Usage:
new InputSenderDialog(getActivity(), new InputSenderDialog.InputSenderDialogListener() {
@Override
public void onOK(final String number) {
Log.d(TAG, "The user tapped OK, number is "+number);
}
@Override
public void onCancel(String number) {
Log.d(TAG, "The user tapped Cancel, number is "+number);
}
}).setNumber(someNumberVariable).show();
It's work for me
private void showForgotDialog(Context c) {
final EditText taskEditText = new EditText(c);
AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(c)
.setTitle("Forgot Password")
.setMessage("Enter your mobile number?")
.setView(taskEditText)
.setPositiveButton("Reset", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
String task = String.valueOf(taskEditText.getText());
}
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", null)
.create();
dialog.show();
}
How to call? (Current activity name)
showForgotDialog(current_activity_name.this);
If you want some space at left and right of input view, you can add some padding like
private fun showAlertWithTextInputLayout(context: Context) {
val textInputLayout = TextInputLayout(context)
textInputLayout.setPadding(
resources.getDimensionPixelOffset(R.dimen.dp_19), // if you look at android alert_dialog.xml, you will see the message textview have margin 14dp and padding 5dp. This is the reason why I use 19 here
0,
resources.getDimensionPixelOffset(R.dimen.dp_19),
0
)
val input = EditText(context)
textInputLayout.hint = "Email"
textInputLayout.addView(input)
val alert = AlertDialog.Builder(context)
.setTitle("Reset Password")
.setView(textInputLayout)
.setMessage("Please enter your email address")
.setPositiveButton("Submit") { dialog, _ ->
// do some thing with input.text
dialog.cancel()
}
.setNegativeButton("Cancel") { dialog, _ ->
dialog.cancel()
}.create()
alert.show()
}
dimens.xml
<dimen name="dp_19">19dp</dimen>
Hope it help
