showDialog deprecated. What's the alternative?

Question

Is there something else that should be called?

showDialog(TIME_DIALOG_ID);

It\'s in this tutorial but says deprecated in Eclipse.<

Answer 1

To display dialog box, you can use the following code. This is to display a simple AlertDialog box with multiple check boxes:

AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog= new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this); .
            alertDialog.setTitle("this is a dialog box ");
            alertDialog.setPositiveButton("ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"ok ive wrote this 'ok' here" ,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                }
            });
            alertDialog.setNegativeButton("cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "cancel ' comment same as ok'", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();


                }
            });
            alertDialog.setMultiChoiceItems(items, checkedItems, new DialogInterface.OnMultiChoiceClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which, boolean isChecked) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), items[which] +(isChecked?"clicked'again i've wrrten this click'":"unchecked"),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                }
            });
            alertDialog.show();

Heading

Whereas if you are using the showDialog function to display different dialog box or anything as per the arguments passed, you can create a self function and can call it under the onClickListener() function. Something like:

 public CharSequence[] items={"google","Apple","Kaye"};
public boolean[] checkedItems=new boolean[items.length];
Button bt;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    bt=(Button) findViewById(R.id.bt);
    bt.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            display(0);             
        }       
    });
}

and add the code of dialog box given above in the function definition.
