Question

I am trying to show an alert with two edittext fields in Android. The source is as follows:

public void UserPass(){
    final SharedPreferences prefs=getSharedPreferences("PrefsPreferences",MODE_PRIVATE);
    String user=prefs.getString("user", "");
    String pass=prefs.getString("password", "");

    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    builder.setMessage("U/P");
    builder.setCancelable(false);

    final EditText input1 = new EditText(this);
    final EditText input2 = new EditText(this);
    builder.setView(input1);
    builder.setView(input2);

    builder.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
            //My code
        }
    })

    .setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
            dialog.cancel();
        }
    });
    AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
    alert.show();
}

Only one EditText is showing up. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

The second setView call replaces the EditText you set in the first. You can’t add two Views this way. Instead, create a LinearLayout, add both input1 and input2 to that, and then add that to the builder.
