I am trying to figure out what is the best way to go about creating dialogs. I can either create my own Dialog class (which, to me, is more clean and organized), or I can use AlertDialog.Builder (which would be done inline, and funky looking)... What are the positivies and negatives of either implementation?

I am testing my application on an LG Eve phone. I have an application that tries to download something from the web, and when it throws an exception, it is supposed to launch an alertdialog saying that there was an error. When the phone has no wifi signal, the program crashes at builder.create() (see code below). However, when there is wifi signal, and the exception is thrown by something else (for instance, a typo in the url), the dialog launches the way it's supposed to. Any clue as to why this could be?
Code for onCreateDialog:
@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id){
Dialog d = null;
switch (id){...............
How do I have to change my AlertDialogBuilder to center the Items? code...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've used an Alert Dialog builder to display 6 items my user can choose from. Unfortunately for just a few pixels missing, it displays only half of the last item and adds a scrollbar. Beside, centering of the dialog is awkward, there is a 20px padding at the top but only 2px at the bottom. I was wondering if there is a way to reduce font size or vertical spacing in the Alert Dialog builder programatically.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create an application that can use the android as a fax machine, IE Send a picture as a fax or receive a fax and save as a picture. So far I'm starting from the ground up and making sure I can intercept a call at the users discretion. I have an Receiver registered in the Manifest of my program with a filter of Phone_State which flags when the state has changed(IE incoming call).
So on my BroadcastReceiver I'm trying to have an AlertDialog popup prompting the user to either accept as fax or call but the AlertDialog seems to throw a android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException Error when it has an incoming call. My code is just simple an onReceive(context arg0, intent arg1) and I pass the arg0 to the AlertDialog...
The full error message is below

From what I have seen in the AlertDialog code, it passes the context as well as a Window and WindowManager, which I believe is why it's crashing, is there a better way or something else I should be using which might overlay the call screen?
I have a TabActivity with 3 tabs. Each tab contains its own Activity. When one of the contained Activities pops up an AlertDialog, there are actually 3 dialogs created. The dialog has a Dismiss button and it must be pressed 3 times to finally dismiss the 3rd dialog.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2 to do automated black-box testing on my GUI. Is there a way to click on a dialog, or get Views belonging to the Dialog in unit tests?The only way I could come up with is to keep a reference to the dialog and have my Activity implement a getter method to let testcases access the dialog. Is there a better way that doesn't require changing my production code?

I need to build a AlertDialog with a short text ("A") and an OK Button. But if I use AlertDialog.Builder, the "ok" text button is not shown with a short text message.

I've been working at this all day, and I'm really close but just can't get this to work. I have a button that pulls up an AlertDialog populated with saved entries that include Name and Price. Right now, I can click an item in the Dialog and have it automatically fill in the Name and Price fields in my activity. I want to also be able to long press an item and receive an option to delete it. This is my first try at an Android app, and a lot of this is repurposed from the Notepad Tutorial. Two things I can't figure out:
1) Is my registerForContextMenu sufficient/correct?
2) What am I doing wrong with my onCreateContextMenu? Code...

Problem about the new AlertDialog of sdk1.1_r1
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to display an alert in the call screen when the user initiates a call.
Currently I have:
- A class MyAlert extends Activity to view and process the alert
- A class CallReceiver extends BroadCastReceiver to process the call
From CallReceiver, I launch the alert with startActivity on MyAlert. The problem is that the alert appears in my main activity, so we don't see it at the right time, but only if we open the app, what is totally useless.
I have the following AlertDialog with an image inside it:As you can see there is a small gap just above and just below the image. I'd like to remove that gap.My layout xml looks like:

android:id="@+id/alert_thumb_root"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"

<ImageView android:id="@+id/thumb"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
I have an alert dialog which lists around 100 cities. Is there a way to search within it? Or maybe autocomplete? I want to add a textbox which will filter the list according to what I type.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a service running a background thread. What I'd like to do is to show an AlertDialog initiated from my background thread. I know that this is not the recommended way of notifying the user and that it interrupts the workflow (as they can pop-up in any application at any time) but it's a suitable way for my use case. There is a handler registered with the background thread and showing a Toast notification withing the handler works fine. But after switching to an AlertDialog nothing happens anymore. My showDialog logic is silently ignored. No Dialog window appears, no log entry. It's a bit strange as I'd expect at least a log entry saying that I'm doing something wrong or whatever. Are there any limitations for showing an AlertDialog initiated from a service background thread? Some people seem to recommend a Dialog themed Activity to get a similar behavior.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the Android docs on AlertDialog, it gives the following instruction and example for setting a custom view in an AlertDialog:If you want to display a more complex view, look up the FrameLayout called "body" and add your view to it:First off, it's pretty obvious that add() is a typo and is meant to be addView().I'm confused by the first line using R.id.body. It seems that it's the body element of the AlertDialog but I can't just enter that in my code b/c it gives a compile error. Where does R.id.body get defined or assigned or whatever?

In my activity there's some stuff going on in a background thread, which gets started in Activity_1.
