Prevent Android activity dialog from closing on outside touch

I have an activity that is using the Theme.Dialog style such that it is a floating window over another activity. However, when I click outside the dialog window (on the background activity), the dialog closes. How can I stop this behaviour?

showDialog deprecated. What's the alternative?

Is there something else that should be called?

showDialog(TIME_DIALOG_ID);

It's in this tutorial but says deprecated in Eclipse.

How do make modal dialog in WPF?

I am writing my first application in WPF and want to have the user input some data on a modal dialog window. Apparently, this is not simple to do in WPF, because the parent window stays fully enabled, and the method that created the new child window doesn't stop and wait for the child window to call Close(). Instead it just keeps going forward. This is not what I want.

How can I get the child window to open, and have the parent window wait for the child to close before the parent window continues executing?

How to prevent a dialog from closing when a button is clicked

I have a dialog with EditText for input. When I click yes button on dialog, it will validate the input and then close the dialog. However, if the input is wrong, I want to remain in the same dialog. Every time no matter what the input is, the dialog should be automatically closed when I click on button. How can I disable this? By the way, I have used PositiveButton and NegativeButton for the button on dialog. Any Help will be appreciated!

Handling Dialogs in WPF with MVVM

In the MVVM pattern for WPF, handling dialogs is one of the more complex operations. As your view model does not know anything about the view, dialog communication can be interesting. I can expose an ICommand that when the view invokes it, a dialog can appear.

Does anyone know of a good way to handle results from dialogs? I am speaking about windows dialogs such as MessageBox.

One of the ways we did this was have an event on the viewmodel that the view would subscribe to when a dialog was required.

public event EventHandler<MyDeleteArgs> RequiresDeleteDialog;

This is OK, but it means that the view requires code which is something I would like to stay away from.

Open directory dialog

I want the user to select a directory where a file that I will then generate will be saved. I know that in WPF I should use the OpenFileDialog from Win32, but unfortunately the dialog requires file(s) to be selected - it stays open if I simply click OK without choosing one. I could "hack up" the functionality by letting the user pick a file and then strip the path to figure out which directory it belongs to but that's unintuitive at best. Has anyone seen this done before?

How to make an alert dialog fill 90% of screen size?

I can create and display a custom alert dialog just fine but even so I have android:layout_width/height="fill_parent" in the dialog xml it is only as big as the contents.

What I want is dialog that fills the entire screen except maybe a padding of 20 pixel. Then the image that is part of the dialog would automatically stretch to the full dialog size with fill_parent.

Thanks a lot, Fabian

Android: How to create a Dialog without a title?

I'm trying to generate a custom dialog in Android. I create my Dialog like this:

dialog = new Dialog(this);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.my_dialog);

Everythings works fine except for the title of the Dialog. Even if I don't set the title of the dialog the dialog popup has a blank space at the position of the dialog.

Is there any way to hide this part of the Dialog?

I tried it with an AlertDialog but it seems the layout is not set properly:

LayoutInflater inflater = 
    (LayoutInflater) this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_dialog, null);

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setView(view);

// dialog = new Dialog(this);
// dialog.setContentView(R.layout.map_dialog);

dialog = builder.create();

((TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.nr)).setText(number);

If I use this code I get a null Pointer Exception in the last line. The dialog is not null so the TextView I try to retrieve does not exist.
If I uncomment the part where I use the Dialog Constructor everything works fine but for the title above my dialog layout.

How to change theme for AlertDialog

I was wondering if someone could help me out. I am trying to create a custom AlertDialog. In order to do this, I added the following line of code in styles.xml

@drawable/color_panel_background

• color_panel_background.9.png is located in drawable folder. This is also available in Android SDK res folder.

The following is the main activity.

package com.customdialog;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class CustomDialog extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        this.setTheme(R.style.CustomAlertDialog);
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
        builder.setMessage("HELLO!");
        builder .setCancelable(false)
          .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
           public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
               //MyActivity.this.finish();
           }
       })
       .setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
           public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
               //dialog.cancel();
           }
       });

        AlertDialog alertdialog = builder.create();
        alertdialog.show();
    }
}

In order to apply the theme to an AlertDialog, I had to set the theme to the current context.

However, I just can't seem to get the app to show customized AlertDialog. Can anyone help me out with this, and thank you very much in advance!

How to implement "confirmation" dialog in Jquery UI dialog?

I am try to use JQuery UI Dialog to replace the ugly javascript:alert() box. In my scenario, I have a list of items, and next to each individual of them, I would have a "delete" button for each of them. the psuedo html setup will be something follows:

<ul>
    <li>ITEM <a rel='nofollow' href="url/to/remove"> <span>$itemId</span>
    <li>ITEM <a rel='nofollow' href="url/to/remove"><span>$itemId</span>
    <li>ITEM <a rel='nofollow' href="url/to/remove"><span>$itemId</span>
</ul>

<div id="confirmDialog">Are you sure?</div>

In JQ part, on document ready, I would first setup the div to be a modal dialog with necessary button, and set those "a" to be firing to confirmation before to remove, like:

$("ul li a").click(function() {
  // Show the dialog    
  return false; // to prevent the browser actually following the links!
}

OK, here's the problem. during the init time, the dialog will have no idea who (item) will fire it up, and also the item id (!). How can I setup the behavior of those confirmation buttons in order to, if the user still choose YES, it will follow the link to remove it?

How can I get a Dialog style activity window to fill the screen?

I am using an activity with the dialog theme set, and I want it to be full screen. I tried all sorts of things, even going through the WindowManager to expand the window to full width and height manually, but nothing works.

Apparently, a dialog window (or an activity with the dialog theme) will only expand according to its contents, but even that doesn't always work. For instance, I show a progress bar circle which has width and height set to FILL_PARENT (so does its layout container), but still, the dialog wraps around the much smaller progress bar instead of filling the screen.

There must be a way of displaying something small inside a dialog window but have it expand to full screen size without its content resizing as well?

Android Dialog: Removing title bar

I have a weird behavior I can't pinpoint the source of.

I have my app with the classic

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

to remove the title/status bar.

I then create a Dialog box to allow the user to enter information (name etc)

With a physical keyboard, no problem but when I use the virtual keyboard I have a strange behavior:

each time I hit a key on the virtual key board the title/status bar reappears pushing all the keyboard layout around then vanishes again (just like the animation of when I start the application)

here is some code :

        dialog = new Dialog(context);
        dialog.setContentView(R.layout.logindialog);
        dialog.setTitle("Login:");

        WindowManager.LayoutParams a = dialog.getWindow().getAttributes();

//      dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

        a.dimAmount = 0;
        dialog.getWindow().setAttributes(a);

        dialog.setCancelable(true);
        dialog.getWindow().setLayout(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);

and then

dialog.show();

I tried

dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

but it crashes my app.

here is the xml

    <TextView android:id="@+id/LoginText"
        android:gravity="fill"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Login:">
    </TextView>         
    <EditText android:id="@+id/LoginEdit"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:text="jason"
        android:layout_width="200sp"/>
    <TextView android:id="@+id/PasswordText"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Password:">
    </TextView>         
    <EditText android:id="@+id/PasswordEdit"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:text="welcome"
        android:layout_width="200sp"
        android:password="true"/>
<LinearLayout 
    android:id="@+id/test2"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button android:id="@+id/LoginButton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:text="Login" />
<Button android:id="@+id/CreateButton"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:text="Create" />
<Button android:id="@+id/CancelLogin"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:text="Cancel" />
</LinearLayout>/>

Javascript: Create and save file

I have data that I want to write to a file, and open a file dialog for the user to choose where to save the file. It would be great if it worked in all browsers, but it has to work in Chrome. I want to do this all client-side.

Basically I want to know what to put in this function:

saveFile: function(data)
{
}

Where the function takes in data, has the user select a location to save the file, and creates a file in that location with that data.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Using HTML is fine too, if that helps.

jquery ui Dialog: cannot call methods on dialog prior to initialization

I have an app on jquery 1.5 with dialogs worked fine. While I have a lot of .live handlers, I changed this to .on. For that, I have to update jquery (now 1.8.3 an jquerui 1.9.1).

Now, I got: Error: cannot call methods on dialog prior to initialization; attempted to call method 'close'

Following is the code:

Javascript

var opt = {
        autoOpen: false,
        modal: true,
        width: 550,
        height:650,
        title: 'Details'
};

$(document).ready(function() {
$("#divDialog").dialog(opt);
    $("#divDialog").dialog("open");
...    

html code

<div id="divDialog">
<div id="divInDialog"></div>
</div>

Any idea why this might be happening?
