Question

I am new to writing Android Applications, and I need to be able to implement the following functionality. When a user clicks a specific button, I want a customized “prompt” box to appear, containing several fields (a textfield, a password field, and a checkbox field). I would also be nice if I could add an image inside this box.

How would I go about implementing this sort of functionality?

Thanks

You need to create a Custom Dialog.

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);

dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog);
dialog.setTitle("Custom Dialog");

TextView text = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setText("Hello, this is a custom dialog!");
ImageView image = (ImageView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.image);
image.setImageResource(R.drawable.android);

where custom_dialog is a layout xml file for the dialog.
