Get Reference of Dialog in onClick - android

I am creating a Custom Dialog on click of a button in my activity. There is button in the Dialog and I have set it like this:
Button buttonTakePicture = (Button)dialog.findViewById(R.id.buttonTakePicture);
buttonTakePicture.setOnClickListener(this);
My Activity is implementing the onClickListener, and the overridden onClick method looks like this:
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
switch (view.getId()) {
case R.id.buttonTakePicture:
Dialog dialog = //Get the dialog somehow from view;
if (dialog != null) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
takePicture();
break;
}
}
I am struggling to get the Dialog Reference here. I have tried (Dialog)view.getParent() as well as (Dialog)view.getParent.getParent(), but they are not the Dialogs.
I don't want to have a Dialog Field in my Activity unless it is the only way.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have solution for this ,
Button buttonTakePicture = (Button)dialog.findViewById(R.id.buttonTakePicture);
buttonTakePicture.setTag(dialog);
buttonTakePicture.setOnClickListener(this);
and get the Dialog like this,
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
switch (view.getId()) {
case R.id.buttonTakePicture:
Dialog dialog = (Dialog) view.getTag();
if (dialog != null) {
view.setTag(null);
dialog.dismiss();
}
takePicture();
break;
}
}

Android dialog dismisses on second click only. Why?

Why doesn't dialog dismiss on the first click (but shows Toast) ?
On the second click it dismisses (Toast is shown again).
private void networkDialog(){
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(EnterActivity.this, android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog);
Button nobutton = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.dialogButLeft);
nobutton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
dialog.dismiss();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "DIALOG", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
dialog.show();
}
Try this way .Let me inform .I hope it will help you.
private void networkDialog()
{
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(EnterActivity.this, android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog);
Button nobutton = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.dialogButLeft);
nobutton.setOnClickListener(this);
dialog.show();
}
Then Use onClick switch Statement
public void onClick(View view)
{
switch (view.getId())
{
case R.id.dialogButLeft:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "DIALOG", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
dialog.dismiss();
break;
}
}
A bit late but a colleague had the same issue and referred to this, are you absolutely sure that you're not creating two dialogs by calling networkDialog() twice?
Add some unique text to the dialog that will be visible to you when it's displayed like System.currentTimeMillis(), that way you can see if it's called twice because the text is different.
Or add logging / run in debug
Make your Button also final like this:
private void networkDialog(){
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(EnterActivity.this, android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog);
final Button nobutton = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.dialogButLeft);
nobutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
dialog.dismiss();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "DIALOG", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
dialog.show();
}
it's working for me in my app like this:
// Initialize variables
final Dialog passwordDialog = new Dialog(BPMActivity.this,R.style.CustomDialogStyle);
passwordDialog.setContentView(R.layout.password_view);
final Button btnCancel=(Button) passwordDialog.findViewById(R.id.btn_cancel);
btnCancel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
passwordDialog.dismiss();
}
});
passwordDialog.show();
I don't know if this is still relevant to the OP. But I've been banging my head against the wall for quite some time trying to figure this one out. It appears to happen in later (5-6+) Android versions and did not occur on a 4.4.2 device which I have. The solution I've found is to setFocusableInTouchMode of the Button to false:
button.setFocusableInTouchMode(false)
This answer gave me the idea:
I have to click the button twice for it to work

Calling dismiss() on an Android Dialog that instantiates a new Activity/Fragment

I was wondering if when using a Dialog/Fragment Dialog to instantiate a new Activity/Fragment is it programatically correct to call dialog.dismiss() or will it automatically occur?
For example:
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
final CustomDialogFragment dialog = CustomDialogFragment.newInstance(
"Continue / Checkout",
"Would you like to continue shopping or proceed to checkout",
"Continue Shopping", "Checkout");
dialog.show(fm, "checkout_dialog_fragment");
dialog.getFragmentManager().executePendingTransactions();
Dialog d = dialog.getDialog();
Button leftButton = (Button) d.findViewById(R.id.button1);
Button rightButton = (Button) d.findViewById(R.id.button2);
leftButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
rightButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// DOES THIS DISMISS HAVE TO BE CALLED??
dialog.dismiss();
mListener.onFragmentRequestGoToBasket();
}
});
No you don't expressively need to as whichever activity you are starting afterwards will dismiss it.
dismiss() just removes the Dialog from the viewstack, it does not delete all underlying references to Dialog objects.
While I would say you don't need to do it, I still would, if not for performance for better readability by other developpers.
The Android Reference on Dialogs explains both of these points.

Dismiss dialog of custom preference

I have a custom preference, TimePreference, which extends DialogPreference. It has a custom dialog resource, which looks like this
The source is
#Override
protected void onBindDialogView(View v){
super.onBindDialogView(v);
v.findViewById(R.id.butCancel).setOnClickListener(onClickL);
v.findViewById(R.id.butNow).setOnClickListener(onClickL);
v.findViewById(R.id.butOK).setOnClickListener(onClickL);
//....
}
//...
private final View.OnClickListener onClickL = new View.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.d(lTag, v + " clicked");
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.butOK: saveToSP(false);break;
case R.id.butNow: saveToSP(true);
}
try {
getDialog().dismiss(); //may throw null pointer
} catch (Exception e) { Log.w(lTag, "Exc #onClickL", e); }
}
};
//...
I found a bug where, if you clicked the same preference really fast twice (at the preference screen) two dialogs would open. You could close the first one but, when you would try to close the second, the app would crash. It was a NullPointerException, so I enclosed it in a try-catch block. Now, the exception is caught, but the buttons do not close the dialog. Notice that, by clicking back, it does close.
How can I close the second dialog (possibly by simulating the behaviour of the back button?) ? Note, I want the API level below 10.
Okay, I found a soultion. I have a static boolean, which shows if there is an open dialog.
private static boolean isAnyDialogOpen = false;
On dialog bind, I set it to true,
And after I close the dialog, I set it to false.
Turned out that even this was problematic, but the solution was easier
#Override
protected void onClick() {
if (isAnyDialogOpen)
Log.i(lTag, "there is a dialog already");
else {
isAnyDialogOpen = true;
super.onClick();
}
}
#Override
public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog) {
Log.d(lTag, "dismiss, dialog= "+dialog);
isAnyDialogOpen = false;
if (dialog != null) super.onDismiss(dialog);
}

Android Dialog dismisses instead of cancel

I'm having the following issue developing in android 2.2 (API 8):
I have a customized Dialog class like this:
public AuthDialog(final Context context, OnDismissListener dismissListener, OnCancelListener cancelListener) {
super(context);
setOnDismissListener(dismissListener);
setOnCancelListener(cancelListener);
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.userpassdialog);
setTitle("Enter email and password");
setCancelable(true);
setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);
authEmail = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.authEmail);
authPass = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.authPass);
alertMessage = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.auth_alert);
Button authButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.authButton);
View.OnClickListener onClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
if (checkCredentials())
dismiss();
else
showAlert();
}
};
authButton.setOnClickListener(onClickListener);
}
private void showAlert() {
alertMessage.setText("Wrong user/pass");
authEmail.setText(null);
authPass.setText(null);
}
private boolean checkCredentials() {
// Empty user/pass for now
boolean checkEmail = authEmail.getText().toString().equals("");
boolean checkPassword = authPass.getText().toString().equals("");
return checkEmail && checkPassword;
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
cancel();
}
And I create a new AuthDialog like this:
private void authenticateThenAccept() {
OnDismissListener dismissListener = new OnDismissListener() {
#Override
public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog) {
accept();
}
};
OnCancelListener cancelListener = new OnCancelListener() {
#Override
public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {
cancel();
}
};
AuthDialog dialog = new AuthDialog(context, dismissListener, cancelListener);
dialog.show();
}
I'm using the debugger, and I see that when I cancel (using the back button or pressing outside the dialog) the app dismisses the dialog instead of cancelling.
Anybody has had this kind of issue with Dialogs?
Thanks in advanced.
onDismiss() is always fired when dialog closes. The documentation for setOnCancelListener() states: "This will only be invoked when the dialog is canceled, if the creator needs to know when it is dismissed in general, use setOnDismissListener", i.e. it's not either onCancel or onDismiss but both when a dialog is canceled. I agree though that it would have made more sense had that not been the case.
Assuming this dialog should be modal, make your dialog a new activity.
setCancelable(false) will prevent the back button from doing anything. Many developers just turn off the ability of the back button to close the dialog since it's unclear whether that is a cancel or ok action to the user.

Displaying custom dialog

Alright, so I would like to have a custom dialog, but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to make it appear when the function is called.
public void addHomework() {
final Dialog alert = new Dialog(this);
alert.setTitle("Add Homework");
alert.setContentView(R.layout.homework_item_entry);
Button add_button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.add_homework_button);
Button cancel_button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.cancel_homework_button);
add_button.setOnClickListener( new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(ClassHomeworkList.this, "Adding homework", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
cancel_button.setOnClickListener( new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
alert.dismiss();
}
});
alert.show();
}
What could I do?
I know this is an old thread, but even after reading the Android docs it also was not obvious to me how to display a custom dialog using the standard Dialog class. Basically you can call:
this.showDialog(MANAGE_PASSWORD); // MANAGE_PASSWORD static final int
from your activity. Then instantiate the custom dialog in the onCreateDialog method:
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
Dialog dialog;
switch(id) {
case MANAGE_PASSWORD:
dialog= getInstancePasswordDialog();
break;
case DIALOG_ABOUT:
// do the work to define the About Dialog
dialog= getInstanceAlertDialog(); // called "the first time"
break;
default:
dialog = null;
}
return dialog;
}
The code to instantiate the dialog is in getInstancePasswordDialog(). Here is the code sample.
I think you have the problem that your two buttons cannot be found by their ID's like this (as you are trying to find them in your main activity, but they are in the layout for the dialog)
Button add_button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.add_homework_button);
Button cancel_button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.cancel_homework_button);
But instead need to do:
Button add_button = (Button) alert.findViewById(R.id.add_homework_button);
Button cancel_button = (Button) alert.findViewById(R.id.cancel_homework_button);
Have you read the following document: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#ShowingADialog ?
You should override your Activity's onCreateDialog(int) method as described there and then use showDialog(int)
LayoutInflater factory = LayoutInflater.from(this);
View view = factory.inflate(R.layout.dialog, null);
//the id is your root layout
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.layout);
alert.setContentView(layout);
