Android can't get EditText getText().toString() in a Dialog

Question

I\'m trying to create a custom Dialog in an individual class. The dialog is started in the main activity:

        DialogLogin login = new DialogLogin();
            


        

Answer 1

You are inflating a new layout, where the EditText has no text in it. You'll need to only once inflate your layout, and keep a reference to it.

final View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.loginlayout, null);

/* ... */
.setView(view)
/* ... */
EditText text = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.loginEdit);
