Android AlertDialog Single Button

Android Button Builder Android Alertdialog

Android Problem Overview

I'd like to have an AlertDialog builder that only has one button that says OK or Done or something, instead of the default yes and no. Can that be done with the standard AlertDialog, or would I have to use something else?

Android Solutions

Solution 1 - Android

Couldn't that just be done by only using a positive button?

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage("Look at this dialog!")
       .setCancelable(false)
       .setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
           public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                //do things
           }
       });
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();

Solution 2 - Android

You could use this:

AlertDialog.Builder builder1 = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder1.setTitle("Title");
builder1.setMessage("my message");
builder1.setCancelable(true);
builder1.setNeutralButton(android.R.string.ok,
        new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
        dialog.cancel();
    }
});

AlertDialog alert11 = builder1.create();
alert11.show();

Solution 3 - Android

Another approach

Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(ActivityName.this);
alert.setTitle("Doctor");
alert.setMessage("message");
alert.setPositiveButton("OK",null);
alert.show();

Bonus

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(YourActivityName.this);
builder.setMessage("Message dialog with three buttons");

       builder.setPositiveButton("YES", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
           public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                //do things
           }
       });

      builder.setNegativeButton("NO", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
           public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                //do things
           }
       });

       builder.setNeutralButton("CANCEL", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()     {
           public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                //do things
           }
       });
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();

>Now it is up to you to use one,two or three buttons..

Solution 4 - Android

This is the closer I could get to the one liner this should be if the Android API was any smart:

new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
    .setMessage(msg)
    .setPositiveButton("OK", null)
    .show();

Solution 5 - Android

For code reuse, You can make it in a method like this

public static Dialog getDialog(Context context,String title, String message, DialogType typeButtons ) {
		
		AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
		builder.setTitle(title)
		.setMessage(message)
		       .setCancelable(false);
		
		if (typeButtons == DialogType.SINGLE_BUTTON) {
			builder.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
		           public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
		                //do things
		           }
		       });
		}
		       
		AlertDialog alert = builder.create();

		return alert;
	}

    public enum DialogType {
    	SINGLE_BUTTON
    
    }

//Other code reuse issues like using interfaces for providing feedback will also be excellent.

Solution 6 - Android

Kotlin?

  val dialogBuilder = AlertDialog.Builder(this.context)
  dialogBuilder.setTitle("Alert")
               .setMessage(message)
               .setPositiveButton("OK", null)
               .create()
               .show()

In Mono for Android you can do this:

var ad = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
ad.SetTitle("Title");
ad.SetMessage("Message");
ad.SetPositiveButton("OK", delegate { ad.Dispose(); });
ad.Show();
