Android simple alert dialog
AndroidDialogAndroid AlertdialogAndroid Problem Overview
I need to show a little text message to the users that clicks a button on my Android app, on IOS I just had to create an AlertView that it's simple to use but with Android i'm struggling because the solution seems x10 times harder. I saw that I need to use a DialogFragment but I can't understand how to make it work, can someone explain? Also, is my solution right or there is something easier to show a simple text message to users?

Solution 1 - Android
You would simply need to do this in your onClick
:
AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this).create();
alertDialog.setTitle("Alert");
alertDialog.setMessage("Alert message to be shown");
alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEUTRAL, "OK",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
alertDialog.show();
I don't know from where you saw that you need DialogFragment for simply showing an alert.

No my friend its very simple, try using this:
AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(AlertDialogActivity.this).create();
alertDialog.setTitle("Alert Dialog");
alertDialog.setMessage("Welcome to dear user.");
alertDialog.setIcon(R.drawable.welcome);
alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE, "OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "You clicked on OK", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
alertDialog.show();
This tutorial shows how you can create custom dialog using xml and then show them as an alert dialog.
Solution 3 - Android
You can easily make your own 'AlertView' and use it everywhere.
alertView("You really want this?");
Implement it once:
private void alertView( String message ) {
AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
dialog.setTitle( "Hello" )
.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setMessage(message)
// .setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
// public void onClick(DialogInterface dialoginterface, int i) {
// dialoginterface.cancel();
// }})
.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialoginterface, int i) {
}
}).show();
}
