How to add two edit text fields in an alert dialog
I am trying to use an alert dialog to prompt for a username and a password in android. I have found this code here:
if (token.equals("Not Found"))
{
LayoutInflater factory = LayoutInflater.from(this);
final View textEntryView = factory.inflate(R.layout.userpasslayout, null);
AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
alert.setTitle("Please Login to Fogbugz");
alert.setMessage("Enter your email and password");
// Set an EditText view to get user input
alert.setView(textEntryView);
AlertDialog loginPrompt = alert.create();
final EditText input1 = (EditText) loginPrompt.findViewById(R.id.username);
final EditText input2 = (EditText) loginPrompt.findViewById(R.id.password);
alert.setPositiveButton("Login", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
input1.getText().toString(); **THIS CRASHES THE APPLICATION**
}
});
alert.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
// Canceled.
}
});
alert.show();
}
EDIT: I was able to set up the proper layout, but receive an error when I try to access the text field. What is the problem here?
Check this code in alert box have edit textview when click OK it displays on screen using toast.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
final AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
final EditText input = new EditText(this);
alert.setView(input);
alert.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
String value = input.getText().toString().trim();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), value,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
alert.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
alert.show();
}
The API Demos in the Android SDK have an example that does just that.
It's under DIALOG_TEXT_ENTRY
. They have a layout, inflate it with a LayoutInflater
, and use that as the View.
EDIT: What I had linked to in my original answer is stale. Here is a mirror.
Use these lines in the code, because the textEntryView is the parent of username edittext and password edittext.
final EditText input1 = (EditText) textEntryView .findViewById(R.id.username);
final EditText input2 = (EditText) textEntryView .findViewById(R.id.password);
/* Didn't test it but this should work "out of the box" */
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
//you should edit this to fit your needs
builder.setTitle("Double Edit Text");
final EditText one = new EditText(this);
from.setHint("one");//optional
final EditText two = new EditText(this);
to.setHint("two");//optional
//in my example i use TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER for input only numbers
from.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
to.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
LinearLayout lay = new LinearLayout(this);
lay.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
lay.addView(one);
lay.addView(two);
builder.setView(lay);
// Set up the buttons
builder.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
//get the two inputs
int i = Integer.parseInt(one.getText().toString());
int j = Integer.parseInt(two.getText().toString());
}
});
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
builder.show();
LayoutInflater factory = LayoutInflater.from(this);
final View textEntryView = factory.inflate(R.layout.text_entry, null);
//text_entry is an Layout XML file containing two text field to display in alert dialog
final EditText input1 = (EditText) textEntryView.findViewById(R.id.EditText1);
final EditText input2 = (EditText) textEntryView.findViewById(R.id.EditText2);
input1.setText("DefaultValue", TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);
input2.setText("DefaultValue", TextView.BufferType.EDITABLE);
final AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
alert.setIcon(R.drawable.icon)
.setTitle("Enter the Text:")
.setView(textEntryView)
.setPositiveButton("Save",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
Log.i("AlertDialog","TextEntry 1 Entered "+input1.getText().toString());
Log.i("AlertDialog","TextEntry 2 Entered "+input2.getText().toString());
/* User clicked OK so do some stuff */
}
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
int whichButton) {
}
});
alert.show();
