I am a new developer and I want to build an app for a personal purpose.
I would like to receive some input when the application load up on with dialog box with textbox for input only number and 1 button "Ok".
I tried to find solutions but could not so.
Thank you for all !
Android do built in alert dialog. What you need just inflate your custom layout to create alert dialog. You don't have to add your custom button which android also provite negative(some cancel action),positive(some comfirm action),neutral(which is something work like default) button for you. Which you just need to study the link.

I'm working on an android app , we need a custom dialog box to input some settings once in a while . This custom dialog box need to be hard to find so only some users can find it , like a onLongClick somewhere .
Any Ideas ?
Just think out of the box, what android users are not familiar of something that is not user friendly, the LongClick action every android users do long clicks so do something like a swipe up or down on a button or image be creative :)
I know that the Dialog class is the base class for dialogs, but it says in the documentation that you should avoid instantiating Dialog directly. Instead, you should use one of the following subclasses: AlertDialog or DatePickerDialog or TimePickerDialog.
Why?
AlertDialog is a lightweight version of a Dialog. This is supposed to deal with INFORMATIVE matters only, That's the reason why complex interactions with the user are limited. Dialog on the other hand is able to do even more complex things .
when would i use an Alert Dialog?
-When i just want to inform something to the user .
-When we want use for a prompt like Do you want to go back (Yes, No, Cancel. Alert dialog comes with 3 buttons which are positive, negative and neutral which are provided by default).
-When i want to prompt user for a simple value (number/date/string...)
when would i use a Dialog?
-When i want to carry on a complex process with more buttons and widgets .
-Example:
Dialogs in Android are used to shows alerts for making decisions or to edit a single value.
But there are some differences between an AlertDialog and a Dialog.
In an AlertDialog you always want to show a message and at least one Button for user interaction.
In a Dialog you have a custom view to a TextView or something more complex.

With the DatePickerDialog we can have a fancy interface to set the date as this
(source: androidpeople.com)
I like it but it can only be used to set date so how could I build a "DatePickerDialog-like" AlertDialog?
I mean users could click on the "plus" and "minus" button as well as put in the number with keyboard.
Instead of only being able to select a single date, I'd be able to select three different numbers using the three up/down/scroll controls.
Alright, here you go, check this out. Then, check out Android Custom Dialogs, which would allow you to make your own custom dialog.
Check out this project for more information
Make an EditText field that they can edit with a button to the right which says Pick a Date and pops up a dialog. If the user selects the popup dialog, fill in the EditText with the result.
You can make a custom view with a "+" button, an edittext and a "-" button. Make a custom dialog with that view. Read about Android Custom Dialog. I hope I helped.
