How to keep an alertdialog open after button onclick is fired? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Build a custom dialog with a EditText with the attribute android:password="true" a button, then manually set onClick listener the button, and explicitly choose what to do in it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <EditText 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:minWidth="180dip" 
        android:digits="1234567890" 
        android:maxLength="4" 
        android:password="true"/>

    <LinearLayout 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <Button 
            android:id="@+id/Accept" 
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
            android:text="Accept"/>

    </LinearLayout> 
</LinearLayout> 

Then when you want it to pop up:

final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(RealizarPago.this);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog);
dialog.setTitle("PIN number:");
dialog.setCancelable(true);

Button button = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.Accept);
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if(password_wrong){ 
          // showToast
        } else{
          dialog.dismiss();
          // other stuff to do
        }
    }
}); 

dialog.show();

You do not need to create a custom class. You can register a View.OnClickListener for the AlertDialog. This listener will not dismiss the AlertDialog. The trick here is that you need to register the listener after the dialog has been shown, but it can neatly be done inside an OnShowListener. You can use an accessory boolean variable to check if this has already been done so that it will only be done once:

    /*
     * Prepare the alert with a Builder.
     */
    AlertDialog.Builder b = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

    b.setNegativeButton("Button", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {}
    });
    this.alert = b.create();

    /*
     * Add an OnShowListener to change the OnClickListener on the
     * first time the alert is shown. Calling getButton() before
     * the alert is shown will return null. Then use a regular
     * View.OnClickListener for the button, which will not 
     * dismiss the AlertDialog after it has been called.
     */

    this.alertReady = false;
    alert.setOnShowListener(new DialogInterface.OnShowListener() {
        @Override
        public void onShow(DialogInterface dialog) {
            if (alertReady == false) {
                Button button = alert.getButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEGATIVE);
                button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {
                        //do something
                    }
                });
                alertReady = true;
            }
        }
    });

You can set an OnClickListener as follows to keep the dialog open:

public class MyDialog extends AlertDialog {
    public MyDialog(Context context) {
        super(context);
        setMessage("Hello");
        setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE, "Ok", (new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                // this will never be called
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if (ok) {
                    // do something
                    dismiss();
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(getContext(), "when you see this message, the dialog should stay open", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

Answer 4

Try this:

final AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
        .setView(v)
        .setTitle(R.string.my_title)
        .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, null) //Set to null. We override the onclick
        .setNegativeButton(android.R.string.cancel, null)
        .create();

alertDialog.setOnShowListener(new DialogInterface.OnShowListener() {

    @Override
    public void onShow(DialogInterface dialog) {

        Button b = alertDialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE);
        b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                // TODO Do something

            }
        });
    }
});
alertDialog.show();

Same problem for me in a FragmentDialog. Here's my criminal/elegant solution: Remove all buttons from the dialog (positive,negative,neutral). Add your buttons from the xml.eg.:

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <Button
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/button_cancel"
            style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless.Colored"
            android:text="@android:string/cancel"
            android:layout_gravity="left"
            />
        <Button
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/button_ok"
            style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless.Colored"
            android:text="@android:string/ok"
            android:layout_gravity="right"
            />
    </LinearLayout>

And then in your code handle it with:

view.findViewById(R.id.button_ok).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View view2) {
                    if (wannaClose)
                        dismiss();
                    else
                        //do stuff without closing!
                }
            });

where view is the view assigned to the dialog!

Answer 6

You can just continue using the dialog you already have, just put an if clause in the onClick() saying

if(pin_check_method){  //pin_check_method should be a boolean returned method
     //close the Dialog, then continue
     }
   else{
     //dont put the dialog.dismiss() in here, put instead
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Invalid pin, please try again",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

Now, to use this code, simply invoke text.setText(""); and put in the text you want here common error is that when you type in:

TextView text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.dialog);

you miss that it needs to actually be

dialog.findViewById

and this is regardless of what the name of the dialog is, in my example it just happens to be the same name.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                android:id="@+id/layout_root" 
                android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
                android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
                >

    <TextView android:id="@+id/text"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:textColor="#FFF"
              android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>



    <Button android:text="Continue" 
            android:id="@+id/Button01" 
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/text">
             </Button>

</RelativeLayout>
