Android simple alert dialog [duplicate]
I need to show a little text message to the users that clicks a button on my Android app, on IOS I just had to create an AlertView that it's simple to use but with Android i'm struggling because the solution seems x10 times harder. I saw that I need to use a DialogFragment but I can't understand how to make it work, can someone explain? Also, is my solution right or there is something easier to show a simple text message to users?
Solution 1:
You would simply need to do this in your onClick
:
AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this).create();
alertDialog.setTitle("Alert");
alertDialog.setMessage("Alert message to be shown");
alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEUTRAL, "OK",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
alertDialog.show();
I don't know from where you saw that you need DialogFragment for simply showing an alert.
Solution 2:
No my friend its very simple, try using this:
AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(AlertDialogActivity.this).create();
alertDialog.setTitle("Alert Dialog");
alertDialog.setMessage("Welcome to dear user.");
alertDialog.setIcon(R.drawable.welcome);
alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE, "OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "You clicked on OK", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
alertDialog.show();
This tutorial shows how you can create custom dialog using xml and then show them as an alert dialog.
