Question

I coded a Dialog that shows up with 2 textviews and 2 buttons.
I googled for that Problem as well but I didn’t find anything that mathced my issue.
Here is some Code:

case R.id.open:

          openDialog=new Dialog(this);
          openDialog.setContentView(R.layout.open_dialog);

          openDialog.setTitle(head);
          openDialog.setCancelable(true);

    Button open_cancel=(Button)findViewById(R.id.open_cancel);
          open_cancel.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                openDialog.cancel();
            }
        });

but I can’t show the dialog up with the buttons.
If I call it without these Lines there is no Problem:

    Button open_cancel=(Button)findViewById(R.id.open_cancel);
          open_cancel.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                openDialog.cancel();
            }
        });

This is the XML File:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:id="@+id/open_dialog"
      android:orientation="vertical"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:padding="10dp"
      >    
    <EditText android:id="@+id/open_head"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="50dp"
              android:text="ojfpojew ojr pojr"              
              />
    <EditText android:id="@+id/open_note"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:text="oijpojepojpotjpotejpe ojtpojtpo ewpoj tpojt pp jpojtpoj etpoj poj poj t"
              android:layout_height="150dp"              
              />
    <Button android:id="@+id/open_edit"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="edit"
            />
    <Button android:id="@+id/open_cancel"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="cancel"
           />    
</LinearLayout>

I really do not understand why this not works…

Answer 1

Try this,

Button open_cancel=(Button)openDialog.findViewById(R.id.open_cancel);
