Handling buttons in custom dialogs

Question

I have a little problem with an android custom dialog.

I construct a custom dialog in the onCreateDialog(int) function:

dialog = new Dialog(this);
di         


        

Answer 1

The way round it that I use, rather than having a switch block is to use onClickListeners for the buttons:

dialog = new Dialog(this);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog);
dialog.setTitle("Custom Dialog");


Button dialog_btn = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.dialog_button);
dialog_btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
{
    // Perform button logic
}

Note that you are finding the view from the dialog, not just calling straight to findViewById as that would return a null pointer as there would be not dialog_button on the application view.
