How to show a dialog to confirm that the user wishes to exit an Android Activity?
In Android 2.0+ this would look like:
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
.setTitle("Closing Activity")
.setMessage("Are you sure you want to close this activity?")
.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
finish();
}
})
.setNegativeButton("No", null)
.show();
}
In earlier versions it would look like:
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
//Handle the back button
if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
//Ask the user if they want to quit
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
.setTitle(R.string.quit)
.setMessage(R.string.really_quit)
.setPositiveButton(R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
//Stop the activity
YourClass.this.finish();
}
})
.setNegativeButton(R.string.no, null)
.show();
return true;
}
else {
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setMessage("Are you sure you want to exit?")
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
ExampleActivity.super.onBackPressed();
}
})
.setNegativeButton("No", null)
.show();
}
