Get context inside onClick(DialogInterface v, int buttonId)?

Question

Getting the context inside onClick(View view), the callback for a button\'s onClickListener(), is easy:

view.getContext()
         


        

Answer 1

Here is how you do it in case you

1. do not want to have any anonymous class usage
2. or having your activity/fragment implement the interface directly.

Just simply,

1. use dialogInterface object and cast it to Dialog object
2. then call getContext()

Example with DialogInterface.OnClickListener:

DialogInterface.OnClickListener foo = new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int which) {
        Dialog dialog  = (Dialog) dialogInterface;
        Context context = dialog.getContext();
        // do some work with context
    }
};

This will also work for the following interfaces as well, just use the first param DialogInterface dialogInterface and cast.

• DialogInterface.OnCancelListener
• DialogInterface.OnDismissListener
• DialogInterface.OnKeyListener
• DialogInterface.OnMultiChoiceClickListener
• DialogInterface.OnShowListener
