EditText in Dialog

We can create a dialog with Edittext and other views like Button, CheckBoxes, RadioButtons etc.

For this we need to Create A xml layout and and inflate it in AlertDialog





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


<EditText
android:id="@+id/editTextKeywordsToBlock"
android:hint="Enter 1 or more keywords. Use space berween two keywords"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

<requestFocus />
</EditText>

<LinearLayout

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"

android:layout_marginTop="10dp">


<Button
android:id="@+id/buttonBlockByKeyword"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="SAVE"
/>

<Button
android:id="@+id/buttonCancelBlockKeyword"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Cancel"
/>

</LinearLayout>


</LinearLayout>

And inflate this Layout at run time like following

final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);

dialog.setContentView(R.layout.block_by_keyword);
dialog.setTitle("Keyword To Block");

final EditText editTextKeywordToBlock=(EditText)dialog.findViewById(R.id.editTextKeywordsToBlock);
Button btnBlock=(Button)dialog.findViewById(R.id.buttonBlockByKeyword);
Button btnCancel=(Button)dialog.findViewById(R.id.buttonCancelBlockKeyword);
dialog.show();

Get The DATA:

String input = editTextKeywordToBlock.getText().toString();

We can set ClickListiner on Buttons As Well

btnBlock.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
// Your Code
}
});
