LayoutInflater inflater=LayoutInflater.from(this);
            View addView=inflater.inflate(R.layout.view_alert, null);
            final EditText input= new EditText(this);
        final Spinner inputsp = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spalert);

        new AlertDialog.Builder(NewGbrainyActivity.this)
                .setTitle("ENTER YOUR DETAILS")
                .setView(addView)
                .setPositiveButton("Ok",
                        new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
                                    int whichButton) {

                                }

                                String value = input.getText().toString();

                                Intent myIntent = new Intent(
                                        "com.pakage.android.newgbrainy.LEVELS");
                                myIntent.putExtra("name", value);

                                int requestCode = 1;
                                startActivityForResult(myIntent,
                                        requestCode);

                                // finish();
                            }
                        })
                .setNegativeButton("Cancel",
                        new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
                                    int whichButton) {
                                // Do nothing.
                                dialog.dismiss();


                            }
                        }).show();

how should i write the code for taking input and pass it to another activity.please help me

Answer 1

You are saying “In that xml I putt a edite text and spinner.” if so then you should get the Editext from the xml layout. Instead to create new. Also get spinner view from xml

 final EditText input= new EditText(this);
 final Spinner inputsp = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spalert);

do this

final EditText input= (EditText) addView.findViewById(R.id.my_editext_id);
final Spinner inputsp = (Spinner) addView.findViewById(R.id.spalert);
