How to add TextView and EditText using default AlertDialog programmatically


I've been trying to add two elements in a default AlertDialog but I can't seem to make it work. Here's my code:

// START Dialog
    AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

    TextView tv = new TextView(this);
    tv.setText(title);
    tv.setPadding(40, 40, 40, 40);
    tv.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
    tv.setTextSize(20);

    EditText et = new EditText(this);
    etStr = et.getText().toString();

    alertDialogBuilder.setView(et);
    alertDialogBuilder.setTitle(title);
    alertDialogBuilder.setMessage("Input Student ID");
    alertDialogBuilder.setCustomTitle(tv);

    if (isError)
        alertDialogBuilder.setIcon(R.drawable.icon_warning);
    // alertDialogBuilder.setMessage(message);
    alertDialogBuilder.setCancelable(false);

    // Setting Negative "Cancel" Button
    alertDialogBuilder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
            dialog.cancel();
        }
    });

    // Setting Positive "Yes" Button
    alertDialogBuilder.setPositiveButton("OK",
            new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    if (isError)
                        finish();
                    else {
                        Intent intent = new Intent(
                                ChangeDeviceActivity.this,
                                MyPageActivity.class);
                        startActivity(intent);
                    }
                }
            });

    AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();

    try {
        alertDialog.show();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // WindowManager$BadTokenException will be caught and the app would
        // not display the 'Force Close' message
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

For now, this is only an EditText with a message set by alertDialogBuilder.setMessage("Input Student ID"); but I want to make this a TextView so I can center-justify it. How do I do this?


Solution

  •         AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    
            LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
            LinearLayout.LayoutParams parms = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
            layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
            layout.setLayoutParams(parms);
    
            layout.setGravity(Gravity.CLIP_VERTICAL);
            layout.setPadding(2, 2, 2, 2);
    
            TextView tv = new TextView(this);
            tv.setText("Text View title");
            tv.setPadding(40, 40, 40, 40);
            tv.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
            tv.setTextSize(20);
    
            EditText et = new EditText(this);
            etStr = et.getText().toString();
            TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
            tv1.setText("Input Student ID");
    
            LinearLayout.LayoutParams tv1Params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
            tv1Params.bottomMargin = 5;
            layout.addView(tv1,tv1Params);
            layout.addView(et, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
    
            alertDialogBuilder.setView(layout);
            alertDialogBuilder.setTitle(title);
            // alertDialogBuilder.setMessage("Input Student ID");
            alertDialogBuilder.setCustomTitle(tv);
    
            if (isError)
                alertDialogBuilder.setIcon(R.drawable.icon_warning);
            // alertDialogBuilder.setMessage(message);
            alertDialogBuilder.setCancelable(false);
    
            // Setting Negative "Cancel" Button
            alertDialogBuilder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
                    dialog.cancel();
                }
            });
    
            // Setting Positive "OK" Button
            alertDialogBuilder.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    if (isError)
                        finish();
                    else {
                          Intent intent = new Intent(ChangeDeviceActivity.this,
                          MyPageActivity.class); startActivity(intent);
                    }
                }
            });
    
            AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();
    
            try {
                alertDialog.show();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // WindowManager$BadTokenException will be caught and the app would
                // not display the 'Force Close' message
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
