Dialog does not appear

android, dialog

Solution

You have to call `show()` method instead of `create()`.

Note: `create()` method only creates instance of `Dialog` but it won't show its.

One suggestion:

You can create method that returns `Dialog` like this:

public Dialog createNewDialog(int type) {
   AlertDialog dlg = null;
   switch (type) {
      case SOME_CONSTANT:
         dlg = new AlertDialog.Builder(ActivityName.this / this)
            .setTitle("Title")
            .setMessage("Message")
            .setPositiveButton("Yes", null)
            .create();
      break;
   }
}

Then you can call it as:

createNewDialog(SOME_CONSTANT).show();

and your `Dialog` will be shown.

Especially in your case you can reach your goal with this snippet of code:

@Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        switch (v.getId()) {
        case R.id.bAdd:
            createNewDialog(SOME_CONSTANT).show();
            break;
        }
    }

Hope it helps.

Problem

I use following code: ``` public class Settings extends Activity implements OnClickListener { private Activity activity; private AlertDialog.Builder builder; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); setContentView(R.layout.settings); Button bAdd = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bAdd); bAdd.setOnClickListener(this); activity = this; builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity); builder.setMessage("message") .setTitle("title"); } @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub switch (v.getId()) { case R.id.bAdd: AlertDialog dialog = builder.create(); break; } } } ``` But for some reason my popup doesn't appear and does nothing at all.. Any ideas on what is causing this malfunction? Thanks!
