How to add a check box to an alert dialog

Question

Currently when the user opens my app, an AlertDialog opens, asking them if they would like to upgrade to the pro version.

I need to add a CheckBox

Answer 1

First you need to define a layout that contains the message and checkbox for disabling the alert on subsequent views. Then instead of calling builder.setMessage, you'll call:

builder.setView(myAlertViewWithDisablingCheckbox);

Then when the user clicks on the alert dialog button, you'll have to check to see if that checkbox has been checked, and save that preference in your app's SharedPreferences. Then you can use that preference to determine if this alert dialog should be shown to the user again.
