How to get the inflated view from AlertDialog when using setView(int layoutResId)?

I use this code to create a custom AlertDialog:
val dialog = AlertDialog.Builder(context)
.setView(R.layout.layout)
.create()
The problem is I cannot get the inflated view. dialog.findViewById(R.id.a_view_in_the_layout) returns null.
Alternatively, I can use .setView(View.inflate(context, R.layout.layout, null) but this sometimes makes the dialog fill the screen and take more space than setView(int layoutResId).

If I remember correctly, create sets up the Dialog, but its layout is not inflated until it needs to be shown. Try calling show first then, then finding the view you're looking for.
val dialog = AlertDialog.Builder(context)
.setView(R.layout.layout)
.create()
dialog.show() // Cause internal layout to inflate views
dialog.findViewById(...)

Just inflate the layout yourself (its Java code but I think you know what to do):
AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE );
View view = inflater.inflate( R.layout.layout, null );
dialog.setView(view);
dialog.create().show();
Your inflated view is now view and you can use it to find other views in it like:
EditText editText = view.findViewById(R.id.myEdittext);

Instead of using alert dialog use simple Dialog its Easy and very simple
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context);
dialog.setContentView((R.layout.layout);
dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));
TextView tvTitle = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.tvTitle);
tvTitle.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
}
});
You don't have to need to inflate the View.

Try this;
View dialogView; //define this as a gobal field
dialogView = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.your_view, null);
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
builder.setTitle("Title");
builder.setView(dialogView);
View yourView = dialogView.findViewById(R.id.a_view_in_the_layout);
TextView yourTextView = dialogView.findViewById(R.id.a_textView_in_the_layout);
Button yourButton = dialogView.findViewById(R.id.a_button_in_the_layout);

Set text in TextView in custom dialog

I want to set the text in a TextView contained in a custom dialog programmatically, so that I can use Html.fromHtml. In what function should I call setText? I've tried doing it in onCreateDialog, but this does not actually change the text.
public class InfoDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Use the Builder class for convenient dialog construction
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
LayoutInflater inflater = getActivity().getLayoutInflater();
// Inflate and set the layout for the dialog
// Pass null as the parent view because its going in the dialog layout
builder.setView(inflater.inflate(R.layout.infodialog, null));
TextView textView = (TextView) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.info);
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h1>Text has been correctly set</h1>"));
...

Try this:
View content = inflater.inflate(R.layout.infodialog, null);
builder.setView(content);
TextView textView = (TextView) content.findViewById(R.id.info);

How to add LinearLayouts to a Parent View in a custom AlertDialog?

So far I have been able to add a few LinearLayouts to another LinearLayout using this bit of code:
setContentView(R.layout.view_editscore);
ViewGroup container = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.container1);
for (String s : PlayersActivity.playersList) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.edit_duplicate, null);
TextView tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.userName);
tv.setText(s);
container.addView(view);
}
And then I am also able to fill a custom AlertDialog with the R.layout.view_editscore View using this code:
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle(R.string.editScore);
LayoutInflater in = getLayoutInflater();
builder.setView(in.inflate(R.layout.view_editscore, null));
But for some reason, when I use the setView() to put the R.layout.view_editscore in the AlertDialog it only adds the version that was the "outer shell" before I added each of the LinearLayouts.
I have tried building the custom AlertDialog both before and after I fill the View with the other LinearLayouts but both ways are still yielding the same result.
What could I be doing wrong?

android dialog with list and imageview

I am new to android. I have a layout that contains an imageview and a textview. I also have a list that contains some data information.
I would like to add the list in the dialog on the textview position. Imageview is set to a default image and I would like to leave it like that for the momenet. Later i will have a new list with imageview that I would like to set to my imageview from the layout.view pos.
I would like to ask how to set the list data to the textview and also how to obtain the clicked element from the dialog
I don't know how to add the list in the dialog on the text
builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getApplicationContext());
LayoutInflater li = (LayoutInflater) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View promptsView = li.inflate(R.layout.contact_filster_list,(ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.layout_root));
builder.setView(promptsView);
final ImageView userInput = (ImageView) promptsView.findViewById(R.id.dialog_icon);
final TextView userInput1 = (TextView) promptsView.findViewById(R.id.dialog_text);

How to use another layout id?

In my application I have used one alert box.. In this alert box, I give another layout to be show.. using setView() method.. I have a problem. How to use layout elements id in my activity?
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.volume, null);
builder.setTitle("Volume");
builder.setView(layout);
builder.setPositiveButton("OK", null);
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", null);
AlertDialog alert1 = builder.create();
alert1.show();

Something like this:
In your activity:
....
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.volume, null);
.....
View some = layout.findViewById(YOUR_VIEW_ID);
.....

if you want to refer to view inside your custom layout, then do the following:
EditText editText = (EditText) layout.findViewById(R.id.your_editText);
Button editText = (Button) layout.findViewById(R.id.your_button);
.
.
.
//and so one with other views

This code shows you how to show a custom alert and get a view from that custom layout:
AlertDialog mDialog = null;
Context mContext = getApplicationContext();
final AlertDialog.Builder my_Dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_dialog, (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.layout_root));
ImageView imageViewInsideLayout = (ImageView) layout.findViewById(R.id.imageviewLayout);
my_Dialog.setView(layout);
mDialog = my_Dialog.create();
mDialog.show();

You can get reference to view by builder.findViewById( R.id.restart );
