How do I connect a button to a Dialog that will edit a TextView, within a FrameLayout, with a users input?

I don't understand DialogFragment at all. How to create one, how to get the user input out of it, and set it into a TextView.
I would like for the TITLE button, when clicked, to bring up a DialogFragment asking the user to enter the title of their Mood Board. The user enters a title. When they click the PostiveButton "Done", the user's title is set into the top left frame of the mood board, which has a TextView with a hint.
Please! Ask questions, because I don't really understand the dialog setup.
Here is a picture of my main_layout, in my MainActivity. Every element has an "#+id/".

The solution you are looking for is a callback:
Create an interface with a method to use as a callback
Implements the interface on the activity
Create the dialog fragment and in onAttach get the interface
Show the dialog fragment on the activity
On dismiss the dialog fragment pass the text using the instance of the interface
interface Callback {
updateText(String text)
}
class CoolActivity... implements Callback
onCreate {
//find your views
showDialogBtn.setOnClickListener(...
FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
Fragment prev = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("yourTag");
if (prev != null) {
ft.remove(prev);
}
ft.addToBackStack(null);
DialogFragment dialogFragment = ExampleDialogFragment.newInstance();
dialogFragment.show(ft, "yourTag");
)
}
#Override
updateText(String text) {
youtView.setText(text)
}
class CoolDialogFragment extend DialogFragment {
private Callback callback;
#Override
void onAttach(Context context) {
callback = (Callback) context
}
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Dialog dialog = new Dialog(getActivity());
dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
return dialog;
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup container, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.dialog_fragment_example, container, false);
}
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, #Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
//find the views in the dialog fragment
closeBtn.clickListener(...
callback.updateText(edittext.getText().toString())
dismiss()
)
}
}
Here is a gist of a dialog fragment
https://gist.github.com/cutiko/7e307efcf7492ea52ef05cd90f9e3203
The problem is you want to connect a dialog fragment with a another component, and you want to do it straigth forward. This is not considered a good practice because yiu create 2 componentes higly attached, so the best would be to use data persistence and some form of react programming

You can make your mood board title textview static then call it to the alertdialog with edittext to set it text (setText)
like this.
final EditText edittext = new EditText(MainActivity.this);
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
builder.setMessage("Input Title")
.setView(edittext)
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("Confirm", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
YourCustomDialog.your_title_textviewMoodboard.setText(edittext.getText().toString());
}
})
.setNegativeButton("Back", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
in your custom dialog. declare your textview static globally
public static TextView your_title_textviewMoodboard;

Show a Fragment over everything else currently in view, and then remove it on button click

I'm currently trying to make a fragment come into view over everything else in the activity. Then, on a button press, the fragment should disappear and reveal everything that was there previously.
Here is my current attempt:
FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(currentFragment.getId(), fragment);
transaction.addToBackStack(null);
transaction.commit();
and on the button press, I do:
getFragmentManager().popBackStack();
But the issue I'm having it the fragment doesn't totally inflate overtop all the other views, and the button press is not having the desired affect. Any suggestions?
EDIT: It's a bottomNavigationView that's still showing, I'd like to inflate overtop of that.

You can use Dialog fragment like:
public class PopUpDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Context context = getActivity();
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
builder.setTitle("Your title")
.setMessage("Your message")
.setPositiveButton("Button name", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
//Do your stuff here
dismiss();
}
});
return builder.create();
}
}
Then you call it from your activity like:
PopUpDialogFragment fragment = new PopUpDialogFragment();
fragment.show(getFragmentManager(), "popUp");
If you want a Fragment with your own custom view then you create one with onCreateView method.
public class PopUpDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
private Button button;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, #Nullable ViewGroup
container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
final View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_layout,
container, false);
button = view.findViewById(R.id.your_button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Do your stuff here
getDialog().dismiss();
}
});
return view;
}
}

Using Bundle to send data from activity to fragment

I am trying to use Bundle to send data from an activity to a fragment. The activity is receiving the input from a dialogbox when the user clicks on the actionbar add icon. The button also opens the dialogbox but it sends the data straight to the fragment (I'm trying to learn the difference between activity and fragment and to interact with the dialogfragment). None of the solutions on the internet have worked for me, and I was hoping someone can help
I have provided a visualization to aid in my explanation of the issue. So initially, I click the action add icon that opens the dialogbox (2nd pic), when I enter an input, it doesn't alter the data on the fragment. Only when I press the action add icon for a second time, does the first input get updated (3rd pic). Also you may notice that it says "Bundle{[Dialog Input = First Input]}" where First Input is the user input. How do I change this to just, First Input. I tried clearing the textview before setting the value, but that doesn't work. Now lastly when I press the button, it opens the dialogbox and when I enter in data, the data from the action add icon (handled in activity then data sent to fragment) overlaps with the data from the button (data sent straight to fragment). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

#Override

getDialog().dismiss();
}
});
return view;
}
}

How do I change this to just, First Input.
your output is printed like this "Bundle{[Dialog Input = First Input]}" because you are directly doing bundle.toString(); instead of getting the value you have stored in the bundle.
change the above to this
String dialogInput = bundle.getString("Dialog Input")
InputDisplay.setText(dialogInput);
the data from the action add icon overlaps with the data from the button
Clear the existing text in the text view before setting the new value like this
String dialogInput = bundle.getString("Dialog Input")
InputDisplay.setText(");
InputDisplay.setText(dialogInput);
Also, I noticed that all the variable names that you have used are not following camel case I suggest you correct that as well.

How to implement a ClickListener for a button from a custom layout to use in a FragmentDialog

I'm try to set the action for ImageButton. When the DialgoFragment is called and is shown on screen, I want to preess the button and get an action. When I put my action inside that onClick in the code below it didn't work. I'm sure that's not the right way of doing it.
I'm using this class as fragment:
public class GeneralDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout to use as dialog or embedded fragment
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_dialog, container, false);
ImageButton mImageButton = (ImageButton) v.findViewById(R.id.image_button);
mImageButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String name = "";
SharedPreferences prefs = getActivity().getSharedPreferences("MY_PREFS_NAME", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String yourmessage = prefs.getString("msg", null);
if (yourmessage != null) {
name = prefs.getString("msg", "No name defined");//"No name defined" is the default value.
}
ScrollTextView txt = (ScrollTextView) v.findViewById(R.id.scroll_text);
txt.setText(name);
txt.setTextSize(220);
txt.startScroll();
}
});
return v;
}
And in this activity_dialog layout I have an ImageButton:
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/image_button"
android:src="#drawable/ic_image_500px"/>
Edited: Now the action is in the class above. The error actually is in the action. I have the MainActivity where I press this send button:
public void send(View view){
EditText mEditText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.text_msg);
String MESSAGE = mEditText.getText().toString();
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = getSharedPreferences("MY_PREFS_NAME", MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
editor.putString("msg", MESSAGE );
editor.commit();
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MessageActivity.class );
startActivity(intent);
}
It calls the MessageActivity where I call the GeneralDialogFragment class which shows the ImageButton with this code:
DialogFragment mDialog = new GeneralDialogFragment();
mDialog.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "Dialog TAG");

Because of v which you've added it before, it's working without any errors:
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_dialog, container, false);
ImageButton mImageButton = (ImageButton) v.findViewById(R.id.image_button);

Fragment not calling onClick

I've got a Fragment implementing onClickListener. What I have is a custom dialer which must show on the edittext the introduced number. But it doesn't show anything.
This is the Fragment:
PhoneView.java
public class PhoneView extends Fragment implements OnTabChangeListener, OnClickListener {
...
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mRoot = inflater.inflate(R.layout.phone_view, null);
mTabHost = (TabHost) mRoot.findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
setupTabs();
return mRoot;
}
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
setRetainInstance(true);
...
ImageButton button1 = (ImageButton) getView().findViewById(R.id.one);
EditText numTxt = (EditText) getView().findViewById(R.id.digits);
...
button1.setOnClickListener(this); //UPDATED - ADDED
...
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()){
case R.id.one:
numTxt.setText(numTxt.getText()+"1");
break;
...

you have to call View.setOnClickListener(OnClickListener) of the view you want to react on the click event

In your Activity class, you need to define your Phoneview as you ClickListener to the button or another "view"
Suppose in your activity class, u have a button named deleteButton, and if u want to register a listener for this button... This is how you would do it.
private Button deleteButton= null;
deleteButton.setOnClickListener(PhoneView);
