Alert Dialogue Box for Forget Password

The dialog box just works fine but as soon as I leave an empty field in the textfield ( for email) I get returned back to Login Activity. How can I keep showing the Dialogue Box without going back. How can I create a condition for Empty Email Field.
forgetPass.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
final EditText resetMail = new EditText(v.getContext());
final AlertDialog.Builder passwordResetDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(v.getContext());
passwordResetDialog.setTitle("Reset Password?");
passwordResetDialog.setMessage("Enter Your Email To Receive The Reset Link");
passwordResetDialog.setView(resetMail);
passwordResetDialog.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
final String mail = resetMail.getText().toString().trim();
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(mail)) {
Toast.makeText(getApplication(), "Enter Valid Email Address.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
} else {
fAuth.sendPasswordResetEmail(mail).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<Void>() {
#Override
public void onSuccess(Void aVoid) {
Toast.makeText(Login.this, "Reset Link Sent To Your Email.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
#Override
public void onFailure(#NonNull Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(Login.this, "Error ! Reset Link Not Sent." + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
}
});
passwordResetDialog.setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// Close The Dialog Box
}
});
passwordResetDialog.create().show();
}
});

First i will suggest you to create your own layout of dialog in which there should be close button to close the dialog and then add this line
passwordResetDialog.setCancelable(false);
this will prevent the dialog to close and use this function dismiss();on the click of that cross/cancel button to close the dialog.

I would suggest that you build your own Dialog with your own Buttons
then you can use the button without dismiss
Button b1 = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.dialog_bt_yes);
b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//your code with no dismiss
}
});
Button b2 = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.dialog_bt_no);
b2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// close dialog
dialog.dismiss();
}
});

when you are using Alert Dialog it's not possible to click the positive or negative button and not finishing the dialog. Use DialogFragment to manage the dialog ensures that it correctly handles lifecycle events such as when the user presses the Back button or rotates the screen. using custom Dialog Fragment it's a bit harder but it's more flexible

Capturing user input from an actionbar menu item

I am creating a gym app in Android Studio and the first feature I'm trying to implement is to have the user create a workout by clicking on an option in the action bar to add it. Clicking this button brings up an alert dialog with an EditText field to type in the workout name. Later, I will use the input to create a list view with the different workouts added, but for now I am just concerned about capturing the input from this EditText field.
Here is what should happen.. on this screen I click the + button and it brings up an alert dialog box with an EditText field. I want to capture this input in the java main activity file.
Here is the java MainActivity File. I want the input from the EditText field to be stored in the m_Text variable.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private String m_Text;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main_menu,menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
//Clicking add workout button in the action bar
//stackoverflow.com/questions/13143006/alert-dialog-from-within-onooptionsitemselected-android
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getItemId()){
case R.id.action_add_workout:
//final EditText mAddWorkout = (EditText)R.layout.userinput;
//Creating the dialog box for entering the workout name
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle("Enter the workout name");
//Create the user input xml file into a java object; capturing the user input from the dialog box
//inflate means "fill"
View view = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.userinput,null);
final EditText mAddWorkout = (EditText)view.findViewById(R.id.workout_name_input);
builder.setView(R.layout.userinput);
builder.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
m_Text = mAddWorkout.getText().toString();
boolean brkpt = true;
}
}); //Second parameter pass in which event listener should trigger when the button is clicked
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel",null);
builder.show();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
}
Here is the xml for my actionbar menu item for adding the workout name (main_menu.xml)
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<item
android:id="#+id/action_add_workout"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_add"
android:title="#string/add_workout"
app:showAsAction="always"/>
</menu>
Last, the xml for the EditText (userinput.xml)
<EditText xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/workout_name_input"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:hint="name..">
</EditText>
When I debug my code, the m_Text variable is always empty if I enter a workout name in the EditText field. I have been stuck on this for days now and I have combed youtube and SO for an answer and haven't found much relating to my issue.
Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
EDIT: Updated code for MainActivity. I can get control pass to the custom clicker but the input is still not saved. Thanks
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private EditText mAddWorkout;
public class CustomClickListener implements View.OnClickListener {
private final Dialog dialog;
CustomClickListener(Dialog dialog) {
this.dialog = dialog;
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String editTextValue= mAddWorkout.getText().toString();
}
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.main_menu,menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
//Clicking add workout button in the action bar
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getItemId()){
case R.id.action_add_workout:
//final EditText mAddWorkout = (EditText)R.layout.userinput;
//Creating the dialog box for entering the workout name
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle("Enter the workout name");
//Create the user input xml file into a java object; capturing the user input from the dialog box
//inflate means "fill"
View view = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.userinput,null);
mAddWorkout = (EditText)view.findViewById(R.id.workout_name_input);
builder.setView(R.layout.userinput);
builder.setPositiveButton("OK",null);
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel",null);
AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
alertDialog.show();
Button saveWorkout = alertDialog.getButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE);
saveWorkout.setOnClickListener(new CustomClickListener(alertDialog));
builder.show();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
}
******FINAL EDIT*******
I've since finished the entire app and thought I would post my alert dialog code in case it helps someone else out. It turns out that this issue with alert dialogs was the only major issue I had, once I got used to android studio and java things really took off. Anyways my gymapp is a nice little app that uses SQLlite to track workouts, exercises, and sets.. I've actually used it in the gym :)
#Override
//Clicking add workout button in the action bar
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
//Creating the dialog box for entering the workout name
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
final EditText input = new EditText(this);
builder.setTitle("Enter the workout name").setView(input).setView(input);
builder.setPositiveButton("OK",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Workout workout = new Workout(input.getText().toString());
long workout_key = myDb.createWorkout(workout);
populateWorkouts();
}
});
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
builder.show();
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
In my case, I use the input to create a workout object and insert it to my database. And obviously you would need a switch statement if you had more than one option in your action bar menu.
Thanks again to the 2 guys that tried to help me.

Here is how you should do this:
Create a customer click listener
private class CustomClickListener implements View.OnClickListener {
private final Dialog dialog;
CustomClickListener(Dialog dialog) {
this.dialog = dialog;
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String editTextValue= mAddWorkout.getText().toString();
}
}
You should make mAddWorkout value class-level so you can access it easily!
Then :
Set this click listener to your dialog like this
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle("Enter the workout name");
//Create the user input xml file into a java object; capturing the user input from the dialog box
//inflate means "fill"
View view = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.userinput,null);
final EditText mAddWorkout = (EditText)view.findViewById(R.id.workout_name_input);
builder.setView(R.layout.userinput);
builder.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
boolean brkpt = true;
}
}); //Second parameter pass in which event listener should trigger when the button is clicked
AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
alertDialog .show();
Button saveWorkout = alertDialog.getButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE);
saveWorkout .setOnClickListener(new CustomClickListener(alertDialog));
This is the solution that I use for my own code and works fine; you can do validation inside the onClick method of the click listener and alert the user accordingly!
Good luck!

private android.app.AlertDialog mAlert;
private EditText mAddWorkout;
//Creating the dialog box for entering the workout name
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
View view = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.userinput,null);
builder.setTitle("Enter the workout name");
mAlert = builder.create();
mAlert.setCancelable(true);
mAlert.setView(view, 10, 10, 10, 10);
if (mAlert != null && !mAlert.isShowing()) {
mAlert.show();
}
mAddWorkout = (EditText) mAlert.findViewById(R.id.workout_name_input);
m_Text = mAddWorkout.getText().toString();
Hope this solves your problem

A bit late, but I had run into the same problem, and found yet another answer. The solution that works for me is...
binding.myEditText.setOnEditorActionListener { _, action, key ->
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH ||
actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE ||
key == null ||
key.keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) {
// Put your actions here
true
} else {
false
}
}
I have only been writing kotlin for a month or so, so I cannot promise this follows best practice, but maybe someone else can improve this.
This task is hard because we had only one control, so it is harder to trap focus changes. If we had a page full of buttons, we might have a [Reset] and a [Save] button. We have one function that loads all the parameters into the EditTexts (used on entry and Reset); and one function that updates all the parameters with the EditText text (used on Save). Then all is easy. But I was going to get one parameter going before adding th fancy stuff, which is why I fell into this hole.

How to Create A "Do you want to Continue?" Alert Box

In my application I have a button that when pressed I want it to display an Alert Dialog Box that asks if you want to continue. It will have two buttons: a "Continue" and "Do Not Continue". I am putting the method that opens up the dialog box within the method that opens the new Activity like so:
case R.id.bRegister:
try{
//the method for opening the alert box goes somewhere here but i don't know where yet.
Class ourClass = Class.forName("org.health.blablablabla.app.RegisterData");
Intent ourIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,ourClass);
finish();
startActivity(ourIntent);
overridePendingTransition(R.animator.fadein,R.animator.fadeout);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
This is currently what I have for the Alert Dialog Box method:
private void showWarning(){
AlertDialog.Builder warning = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
warning.setTitle("Existing Data");
warning.setMessage("There is already existing data. If you continue all previous data will be deleted. Are you sure you want to continue?");
warning.setPositiveButton("Continue",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface arg0, int arg1)
{
arg0.dismiss();
}
});
warning.setNegativeButton("Do Not Continue",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// do nothing
}
});
}
My question is where to put the method in the first block of code, and how do I make it so that when the "Do Not Continue" button is pressed, the New Activity "RegisterData" doesn't open up.

you can make an YesNoSampleActivity and use AlertDialog.Builder like this:
public class YesNoSampleActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
//Put up the Yes/No message box
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder
.setTitle("Erase hard drive")
.setMessage("Are you sure?")
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
//Yes button clicked, do something
Toast.makeText(YesNoSampleActivity.this, "Yes button pressed",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
})
.setNegativeButton("No", null) //Do nothing on no
.show();
// Continue code after the Yes/No dialog
// ....
}
}

How to make checkbox in alert dialog align left?

It is possible to modified the checkbox align left in alert dialog?
this is activity.java file
AlertDialog dialog;
final CharSequence[] items = {" Easy "," Medium "," Hard "," Very Hard "};
// arraylist to keep the selected items
final ArrayList seletedItems=new ArrayList();
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle("Select The Difficulty Level");
builder.setMultiChoiceItems(items, null,
new DialogInterface.OnMultiChoiceClickListener() {
// indexSelected contains the index of item (of which checkbox checked)
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int indexSelected,
boolean isChecked) {
if (isChecked) {
// If the user checked the item, add it to the selected items
// write your code when user checked the checkbox
seletedItems.add(indexSelected);
} else if (seletedItems.contains(indexSelected)) {
// Else, if the item is already in the array, remove it
// write your code when user Uchecked the checkbox
seletedItems.remove(Integer.valueOf(indexSelected));
}
}
})
// Set the action buttons
.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
// Your code when user clicked on OK
// You can write the code to save the selected item here
}
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
// Your code when user clicked on Cancel
}
});
dialog = builder.create();//AlertDialog dialog; create like this outside onClick
dialog.show();
}

but... I want the checkbox displayed at the left side...anyone help me.

You can put custom view in your alertdialog. In that view you can easily align your checkbox where you want. For more read this tutorial. http://www.pcsalt.com/android/create-alertdialog-with-custom-layout/#sthash.yN5edpAX.FKWQjxBj.dpbs

Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.
dialog = builder.create();
dialog.getWindow().setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
dialog.show();

onItemContextMenu and button created programatically problem

I would like if anybody could help to solve the problem, that I'm trying to fix in my code. I'm really despearte!
I would like to know if it's possible get from the contextmenu, all the information of the button that I created, and use the setText function later.
Ok, first of all I create a tablerow with some buttons (like a soundboard application)
for (int j = 0 ; index > 0 && j < 2 ; j++) {
final CustomToggleButton tagB = new CustomToggleButton(this);
tagB.setId(index);
...
...
registerForContextMenu(tagB);
tagB.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
....
}
...
}
}
Secondly, I let every button an "edit" option for changing the text in it:
#Override
public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterView.AdapterContextMenuInfo)menuInfo;
menu.setHeaderTitle("Opciones de la etiqueta");
menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0, "Edit");
}
Finally I use onContextItemSelected for creating an EditText Alert and let the possibility of introduce the new text.
#Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(final MenuItem item) {
if (item.getTitle() == "Edit") {
AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
final EditText input = new EditText(this);
alert.setView(input);
alert.setTitle("Nombre del tag");
alert.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
String value = input.getText().toString().trim();
Log.v(null, "nombre del tag nuevo: "+value);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), value,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
int button_id = item.getItemId(); // BUTTON ID?
//CustomToggleButton tagB = (CustomToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.button_id);//DOESN'T WORK!!
//CustomToggleButton tagB = (CustomToggleButton) findViewById(button_id); // NEITHER DOESN'T WORK!!
}
});
alert.setNegativeButton("Cancel",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
alert.show();
return true;
}
else return super.onContextItemSelected(item);
}
The problem is that I can't use its id from R.java, because I have created the button programatically...
Is there any solution for this problem??

You don't need the ID of the button. You need to reference the Button object you created via code.
Edit: Just define the button object with the scope you require. You probably need class scope. You could use an array or list if you would like. Depending on how many buttons you have, that may be the way to go.
