public class TellaFriend extends Activity {

static final int CUSTOM_DIALOG_ID = 0;
TextView customDialog_TextView;
EditText customDialog_EditText;
Button customDialog_Update, customDialog_Dismiss;;

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

    Button buttonStartDialog = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    buttonStartDialog.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            showDialog(CUSTOM_DIALOG_ID);
        }
    });
}

private Button.OnClickListener customDialog_UpdateOnClickListener = new Button.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        String sharedFact = customDialog_EditText.getText().toString();
    }
};

private Button.OnClickListener customDialog_DismissOnClickListener = new Button.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        dismissDialog(CUSTOM_DIALOG_ID);
    }
};

@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Dialog dialog = null;
    switch (id) {
    case CUSTOM_DIALOG_ID:

        dialog = new Dialog(this);
        dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        dialog.setCancelable(false);
        dialog.setContentView(R.layout.customlayout);

        WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        webView.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
        webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/Help.html");

        webView.setWebViewClient(new GameClient());

        customDialog_Update = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.submit);
        customDialog_Dismiss = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.buttonone);

        customDialog_Update.setOnClickListener(customDialog_UpdateOnClickListener);     customDialog_Dismiss.setOnClickListener(customDialog_DismissOnClickListener);
        break;
    }
    return dialog;
}

public class GameClient extends WebViewClient {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return true;
    }

Answer 1

You will need to call findViewById for dialog.

WebView webView = (WebView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.webview);
