How retrieve DialogFragment by tag on screen rotate?

I have created a simple android app that shows a dialog with DialogFragment:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Handler handler = new Handler();
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
System.out.println("ON CREATE");
FragmentManager.enableDebugLogging(true);
if(getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("TEST_DIALOG") == null) {
AppDialog appDialog = new AppDialog();
appDialog.showNow(getSupportFragmentManager(), "TEST_DIALOG");
handler.postDelayed(() -> {
Fragment fragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("TEST_DIALOG");
System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(System.identityHashCode(getSupportFragmentManager())));
System.out.println(fragment);
((AppDialog) fragment).dismiss();
}, 8 * 1000);
}
else {
System.out.println("CONTAINS!");
System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(System.identityHashCode(getSupportFragmentManager())));
}
}
public static class AppDialog extends DialogFragment {
#NonNull
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
System.out.println("CREATE DIALOG: " + Integer.toHexString(System.identityHashCode(this)));
return new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity()).setTitle("TITLE").setMessage("TEST").create();
}
#Override
public void onDismiss(#NonNull DialogInterface dialog) {
System.out.println("DISMISS DIALOG: " + Integer.toHexString(System.identityHashCode(this)));
}
}
}
The problem I come across is that after screen rotation I can't retrieve my dialog with the fragment tag.
After some digging, I can use either setRetainInstance(true); that is deprecated or android:configChanges="orientation" that will not handle orientation changes automatically.
What is the correct way of retrieving DialogFragment object after screen rotation?

android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException error while creating dialog box

I am trying to create a Dialog Box from an Non activity Class.
This is my Code
public static void ShowDialogBox(final Context con, final Listener list) {
AlertDialog.Builder dlgAlert = new AlertDialog.Builder(con);
dlgAlert.setMessage("TEXT");
dlgAlert.setTitle("TEXT");
dlgAlert.setPositiveButton("TEXT"),
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
}
});
dlgAlert.setCancelable(false);
dlgAlert.create().show(); // THIS LINE GIVES ME AN ERROR
}
This is the error which I am getting

Here is the scenario of the user
Activity A -->Opens Activity B-->User presses Back button in Activity B--> On Back button pressed a listener is sent to Activity A --> And then the Dialog Box shown is called.

The issue you are having with the attempt to build your AlertDialog in a separate class is you are passing the AlertDialog the Context of your Activity. You get the error because the AlertDialog requires the WindowManager from the Activity which has the layout--not the Context. This is because Activit extends Context... not the other way around.
In order to make your code work you need to provide the AlertDialog.Builder access to the Activity. So change your code to something like this:
public class TestDialog {
private static final String TAG = TestDialog.class.getSimpleName();
Activity mActivity;
public TestDialog(Activity activity){
mActivity = activity;
}
public void showDialog(){
AlertDialog.Builder b = new AlertDialog.Builder(mActivity);
b.setTitle("Title");
b.setMessage("message");
b.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Log.e(TAG, "showDialog : onClick");
}
});
b.create().show();
}
}
Now you can call the AlertDialog from an Activity lets say in this case MainActivity like this:
TestDialog testDialog = new TestDialog(MainActivity.this);
testDialog.showDialog();
I have not tried this from a Fragment, so I do not know whether this works from a Fragment or whether you will continue to have issues with certain devices. For those reasons, I (and Google!) still strongly suggest that you use the DialogFragment instead, because is has been especially designed for this scenario. Take a look at the Google Docs.:
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs

I generally prefer using DialogFragment instead of what you attempted in order to cut down on repetition. Here is an example of a DialogFragment with a custom layout which I have called R.layout.fragment_alert_dialog:
public class AlertDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
private static final String ARG_TITLE = "title";
private static final String ARG_MESSAGE = "message";
private String title;
private String message;
boolean endSuccess = false;
private AlertFinishedDialogListener mListener;
public AlertDialogFragment() {
}
public static AlertDialogFragment newInstance(String title, String message) {
AlertDialogFragment fragment = new AlertDialogFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putString(ARG_TITLE, title);
args.putString(ARG_MESSAGE, message);
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
if (getArguments() != null) {
title = getArguments().getString(ARG_TITLE);
message = getArguments().getString(ARG_MESSAGE);
}
}
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle saveIntsanceState){
final Context context = getActivity();
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
LayoutInflater inflater = getActivity().getLayoutInflater();
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_alert_dialog, null, false);
final TextView titleView = (TextView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.tvTitle);
final TextView messView = (TextView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.tvMessage);
titleView.setText(title);
messView.setText(message);
builder.setView(rootView)
// .setTitle(title)
.setPositiveButton(R.string.ok_button_dialog_title, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
endSuccess = true;
if(mListener == null) mListener = (AlertFinishedDialogListener) context;
mListener.onAlertFinishedDialog();
}
});
return builder.create();
}
#Override
public void onAttach(Context context) {
super.onAttach(context);
try {
if(mListener == null) mListener = (AlertFinishedDialogListener) context;
}
catch (Exception ex){
throw new RuntimeException(context.toString()
+ " must implement OnFragmentInteractionListener");
}
}
#Override
public void onDetach() {
super.onDetach();
mListener = null;
}
public interface AlertFinishedDialogListener {
void onAlertFinishedDialog();
}
}
It incorporates a Listener just in case you need to be notified when the DialogFragment is completed.
First you need to implement the callback:
implements AlertDialogFragment.AlertFinishedDialogListener{
In order to call the AlertDialogFragment you do this from your Activity (also Fragment if necessary).
private void startAlertDialogFragment(String title, String mess){
AlertDialogFragment alert = AlertDialogFragment.newInstance(title, mess);
alert.show(getFragmentManager(), "alertDialogFragment132");
}
#Override
public void onAlertFinishedDialog() {
Log.e(TAG, "onAlertFinishedDialog");
}

Problem
You can show dialogs from activity context only. except TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT or TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY, which is not recommended if your app does not show emergency notifications to user.
Solution
If you have activity context available then you can show dialog from any class like service, broadcast receiver, or even any class you imagine.
Here is my workaround that can show dialog from any class like i said.
Here is a snippet what i do to show dialog from any class. (Could it
be more simpler!)
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
public class SampleClass {
void anyMethod() {
Dialog dialog = ApplicationContext.getInstance().showDialog("title", "yourMessage", "Cancel", "Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// TODO: handle button 1 clicked
}
}, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// TODO: handle button 2 clicked
}
});
}
}
Now you will implement to make this work.
1. make application class which you will register in android manifest application tag
<application
android:name=".ApplicationContext"
...
>
...
</application>
2. In this application class you will hold live activity object. that will further useful for showing dialog.
ApplicationContext.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Application;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
public class ApplicationContext extends Application {
private static ApplicationContext mInstance;
private Activity liveActivity;
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
mInstance = this;
}
#Override
public void onTerminate() {
super.onTerminate();
mInstance = null;
}
public static synchronized ApplicationContext getInstance() {
return mInstance;
}
public Activity getLiveActivity() {
return liveActivity;
}
public void setLiveActivity(Activity liveActivity) {
this.liveActivity = liveActivity;
}
/*
* Show Dialog with Title, Message, Button1, Button2 with Button1 and Button2 Listener
*/
public AlertDialog showDialog(String title, String msg,
String btn1, String btn2,
DialogInterface.OnClickListener listener1,
DialogInterface.OnClickListener listener2) {
if (liveActivity == null) return null;
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(liveActivity)
.setTitle(title)
.setMessage(msg)
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton(btn1, listener1);
if (btn2 != null)
builder.setNegativeButton(btn2, listener2);
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
return alert;
}
}
Just one more step
3. You will extend all your activity by this base activity class (You can edit your base activity if you already have one.)
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
public class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
ApplicationContext.getInstance().setLiveActivity(this);
}
#Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
ApplicationContext.getInstance().setLiveActivity(null);
}
}
Here you go !!!

Android -Retained headless fragment

I am reading about how to interact between UI and background thread here.
This article has following note:
The AsyncTask does not handle configuration changes automatically,
i.e. if the activity is recreated. The programmer has to handle that
in his coding. A common solution to this is to declare the AsyncTask
in a retained headless fragment.
I dont understand what is retained headless fragment.
For example, in this way I can add fragment:
FragmentManager manager = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();
transaction.add(R.id.frame, new MyFragment());
transaction.commit();
And in fragment I can execute AsyncTask like this:
MyTask myTask = new MyTask();
String[] args = {"Hello"};
myTask.execute(args);
Is this called "to declare the AsyncTask in a retained headless fragment"?

Headless fragment is nothing but a fragment which does not have a view. In onCreate() of the fragment lifeCycle, use setRetainInstance(true);. This will not destroy the fragment even if the activity recreates. So if an AsyncTask is running in fragment, on recreation of the activity, you wont lose the AsyncTask.
In onCreate of the activity, you have to add the fragment with a tag. Before adding, check if the fragment exist using getFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(TAG), if the fragment is null then create a new instance of the fragment and add it.
In Fragment there will not be any view inflated, so no need to override onCreateView().
An example of headlessFragment :
public class HeadlessProgressFragment extends Fragment {
private ProgressListener mProgressListener;
private AsyncTask<Void, Integer, Void> mProgressTask;
public interface ProgressListener {
void updateProgress(int progress);
}
#Override
public void onCreate(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setRetainInstance(true);
}
public void setProgressListener(Context context) {
mProgressListener = (ProgressListener) context;
}
public void startProgress(final int size) {
if (mProgressTask == null || mProgressTask.getStatus() != AsyncTask.Status.RUNNING || mProgressTask.getStatus() == AsyncTask.Status.FINISHED) {
mProgressTask = new AsyncTask<Void, Integer, Void>() {
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
for (int index = 0; index < size; index++) {
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
publishProgress(index + 1);
}
}
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) {
super.onProgressUpdate(values);
if (mProgressListener != null) {
mProgressListener.updateProgress(values[0]);
}
}
};
mProgressTask.execute();
}
}
}
In Activity Something like this :
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements HeadlessProgressFragment.ProgressListener {
private static final String TAG = "progress_fragment";
private ProgressBar mProgressBar;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.dummy_view);
mHeadlessProgressFragment = (HeadlessProgressFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(TAG);
if (mHeadlessProgressFragment == null) {
mHeadlessProgressFragment = new HeadlessProgressFragment();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(mHeadlessProgressFragment,TAG).commit();
}
mHeadlessProgressFragment.setProgressListener(this);
mProgressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progress_bar);
final Button startFillBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_start_filling);
startFillBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mHeadlessProgressFragment.startProgress(100);
}
});
}
#Override
public void updateProgress(int progress) {
mProgressBar.setProgress(progress);
}
}

As i simplified the complexity in my case by Just update your UI (if you have to) by checking the calling fragment or activity is present or not. Start the asynctask by assigning the weakreference of calling entity.

Implement DialogFragment interface in OnClickListener

I need to build a DialogFragment which returns user input from the dialog to an activity.
The dialog needs to be called in an OnClickListener which gets called when an element in a listview gets clicked.
The return value of the DialogFragment (the input of the user) should be directly available in the OnClickListener in the activity.
I tried to implement this by sticking to the official docs: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#PassingEvents
I need something like the following which doesn't work since I don't know how to make the anonymous OnClickListener implement the interface of the CustomNumberPicker class.
As far as I know implementing the interface is necessary in order to get data from the DialogFragment back to the Activity.
Main Activity:
public class MainAcitivity extends ActionBarActivity {
[...]
// ArrayAdapter of the Listview
private class ListViewArrayAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Exercise> {
public ListViewArrayAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<Exercise> exercises) {
super(context, 0, exercises);
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
[...]
if (convertView == null) {
convertView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.item_workoutdetail, parent, false);
}
TextView tvSets = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.tvWorkoutExerciseSets);
tvSets.setText(sets.toString());
// OnClickListener for every element in the ListView
tvSets.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// This is where the Dialog should be called and
// the user input from the Dialog should be returned
DialogFragment numberpicker = new CustomNumberPicker();
numberpicker.show(MainActivity.this.getSupportFragmentManager(), "NoticeDialogFragment");
}
// Here I would like to implement the interface of CustomNumberPicker
// in order to get the user input entered in the Dialog
});
return convertView;
}
}
}
CustomNumberPicker (basically the same as in the docs):
public class CustomNumberPicker extends DialogFragment {
public interface NoticeDialogListener {
public void onDialogPositiveClick(DialogFragment dialog);
public void onDialogNegativeClick(DialogFragment dialog);
}
// Use this instance of the interface to deliver action events
NoticeDialogListener mListener;
// Override the Fragment.onAttach() method to instantiate the NoticeDialogListener
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
// Verify that the host activity implements the callback interface
try {
// Instantiate the NoticeDialogListener so we can send events to the host
mListener = (NoticeDialogListener) activity;
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
// The activity doesn't implement the interface, throw exception
throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString()
+ " must implement NoticeDialogListener");
}
}
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Use the Builder class for convenient dialog construction
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
builder.setMessage("Sets")
.setPositiveButton("set", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
// Return stuff here to the activity?
}
})
.setNegativeButton("cancle", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
// User cancelled the dialog
}
});
// Create the AlertDialog object and return it
return builder.create();
}
}

Something like this?
public class CustomNumberPicker extends DialogFragment {
private NoticeDialogListener ndl;
public interface NoticeDialogListener {
public void onDialogPositiveClick(DialogFragment dialog);
public void onDialogNegativeClick(DialogFragment dialog);
}
//add a custom constructor so that you have an initialised NoticeDialogListener
public CustomNumberPicker(NoticeDialogListener ndl){
super();
this.ndl=ndl;
}
//make sure you maintain an empty constructor
public CustomNumberPicker( ){
super();
}
// Use this instance of the interface to deliver action events
NoticeDialogListener mListener;
// Override the Fragment.onAttach() method to instantiate the NoticeDialogListener
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
//remove the check that verfis if your activity has the DialogListener Attached because you want to attach it into your list view onClick()
}
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Use the Builder class for convenient dialog construction
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
builder.setMessage("Sets")
.setPositiveButton("set", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
ndl.onDialogPositiveClick(dialog);
}
})
.setNegativeButton("cancle", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
ndl.onDialogNegativeClick(dialog);
}
});
// Create the AlertDialog object and return it
return builder.create();
}
}
and then your listView onClick becomes:
tvSets.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// This is where the Dialog should be called and
// the user input from the Dialog should be returned
//
//
DialogFragment numberpicker = new CustomNumberPicker(new NoticeDialogListener() {
#Override
public void onDialogPositiveClick(DialogFragment dialog) {
//What you want to do incase of positive click
}
#Override
public void onDialogNegativeClick(DialogFragment dialog) {
//What you want to do incase of negative click
}
};);
numberpicker.show(MainActivity.this.getSupportFragmentManager(), "NoticeDialogFragment");
}
// Here I would like to implement the interface of CustomNumberPicker
// in order to get the user input entered in the Dialog
});
Do read the comments I have added.And it can even be further optimized because you really dont need an entire dialog instance to get the values you need.
EDIT a possible optimization could be:
Changing the Listener interface to :
public interface NoticeDialogListener {
public void onDialogPositiveClick(String output);
public void onDialogNegativeClick(String output);
//or whatever form of output that you want
}
Then modify the implemented methods accordingly.

You should have your activity, implement your interface (NoticeDialogListener).
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements
NoticeDialogListener{
#Override
public void onDialogPositiveClick(DialogFragment dialog){
//Do something
}
#Override
public void onDialogNegativeClick(DialogFragment dialog){
//Do some other things
}
[...]
}
Then in your button click listeners of the dialog, you use the mListener and call the methods, which is now implemented in the activity and the code will be executed there.
builder.setMessage("Sets")
.setPositiveButton("set", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
if(mListener != null)
mListener.onDialogPositiveClick(CustomNumberPicker.this);
}
});
Also note that you should set the mListener to null in the onDetach() method of your DialogFragment.
#Override
public void onDetach() {
super.onDetach();
mListener = null;
}

Here's how it's done:
In the Activity where you show the DiaogFragment, set the arguments of the DialogFragment with the desired name value pair.
Also make sure that the activity implements the DialogInterface.OnClickListener
In the overridded onClick pick up the value from the aforementioned name value pair
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements DialogInterface.OnClickListener {
private static SettingsFragment settingsFragment;
private Button btnSettings;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);
btnSettings = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSettings);
btnSettings.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
settingsFragment = new SettingsFragment();
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("myKey", null);
settingsFragment.setArguments(bundle);
//Use the commented out line below if you want the click listener to return to a fragment instead of an activity
//assuming that this class in a fragment and not an activity
//rotateSettingsFragment.setTargetFragment(getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("TagForThisFragment"), 0);
settingsFragment.setTargetFragment(settingsFragment, 0);
settingsFragment.setCancelable(true);
settingsFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "SettingsFragment");
}
});
}
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
if(getResources().getResourceEntryName(which).equals("btnSettingFragmentClose")) {
String myValue = settingsFragment.getArguments().getString("myKey");
dialog.dismiss();
}
}
}
In your DialogFragment declare a DialogInterface.OnClickListener and cast it to the activity in the onAttach.
In the event that needs to send back the data to the activity; set the buddle arguments and then call the onClickListener.onClick
public class SettingsFragment extends DialogFragment {
private View rootView;
private Button btnSettingFragmentClose;
private DialogInterface.OnClickListener onClickListener;
public SettingsFragment() {}
/* Uncomment this and comment out on onAttach when you want to return to a fragment instead of an activity.
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
onClickListener = (DialogInterface.OnClickListener) getTargetFragment();
}
*/
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_settings, container, false);
btnSettingFragmentClose = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.btnSettingFragmentClose);
btnSettingFragmentClose.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
getArguments().putString("myKey", "Hello World!");
onClickListener.onClick(getDialog(), v.getId());
}
});
return rootView;
}
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
try {
onClickListener = (DialogInterface.OnClickListener) activity;
}
catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString() + " must implement mainFragmentCallback");
}
}
}

This simple solution works for me:
public class MyActivity implements MyDialogFragment.Listener {
// ...
#Override
public void onMyEvent() {
// do something here
}
}
public class MyDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
private Listener mCallback;
public interface Listener {
void onMyEvent();
}
#SuppressLint("RestrictedApi")
#Override
public void setupDialog(final Dialog dialog, int style) {
super.setupDialog(dialog, style);
View contentView = View.inflate(getContext(), R.layout.dialog_fragment_custom, null);
dialog.setContentView(contentView);
mCallback = (Listener) getActivity();
Button myBtn = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.btn_custom);
myBtn.setOnClickListener(v -> {
mCallback.onMyEvent();
dismiss();
});
}
}

As an example you can use DatePickerDialog where DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener used to deliver result.
or this is one of my implementations that allow to keep dialog screen open until user not finished with some action or not entered valid data. With custom callback that provide exact interface to this dialog.
public class ConfirmPasswordDialog extends DialogFragment {
private OnPaswordCheckResult resultListener;
private TextView passwordView;
public ConfirmPasswordDialog(OnPaswordCheckResult resultListener){
this.resultListener = resultListener;
}
#Override
public android.app.Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
LayoutInflater inflater = getActivity().getLayoutInflater();
View dialogView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.dialog_layout, null);
builder.setView(dialogView);
passwordView = (TextView) dialogView.findViewById(R.id.password);
passwordView.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
#Override
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {/*do nothing*/}
#Override
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {/*do nothing*/}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
if(passwordView != null){
passwordView.setError(null);
}
}
});
builder.setView(dialogView);
builder.setMessage("Please enter password to finish with action");
builder.setPositiveButton("Confirm", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
/* do something when click happen, in this case mostly like dummy because data return later
* after validation or immediately if required*/
}
});
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
builder.setTitle("Confirm password");
final AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.setOnShowListener(new DialogInterface.OnShowListener() {

Refresh the Fragment on dismiss of Dialogue fragment

There is some synch process on server that updates the database and I want to refresh the parent activity on click of dialogue dismiss to get the synched values in a view.
I have three fragments- FragmentA.java, FragmentB.java and ragmentC.java
In FragmentA.java, I have public interface OnEntrySelectedListener which have method getDialog() and
other fragment class FragmentB.java implements this interface and have definition for getDialog() method.
FragmentA.java
class FragmentA extends Fragment
{
public interface OnEntrySelectedListener
{
getDialog();
}
}
FragmentB.java
class FragmentB extends FragmentActivity implements FragmentA.OnEntrySelectedListener
{
#Override
public void getDialog(Bundle bundle) {
FragmentC cf = new FragmentC();
cf.setArguments(bundle);
cf.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "dialog");
}
}
FragmentC.java
class FragmentC extends DialogFragment {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//some code here
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.shared,container, false);
view.findViewById(R.id.button1).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0)
{
getDialog().dismiss(); //Here after dismiss, I want to refresh FragmentA
}
});
return view;
}
Now I want to refresh the FragmentA on dismiss of FragmentC.

You can add an interface and callback to C to do something like this:
#Override
public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog) {
if (getActivity() != null && getActivity() instanceof Dismissed) {
((Dismissed) getActivity()).dialogDismissed();
}
super.onDismiss(dialog);
}
public interface Dismissed {
public void dialogDismissed();
}
Then in the main activity you can implement the interface and when you get the call you forward it to fragment A.
You could also fire a refresh event that FragmentA would listen to.
