Question

I created an AlertDialog to show the user next level challenges when one is succeeded. So, the corresponding code is like this. when the game is succeeded showDialog(R.id.display_success) is called and the following code is executed.

So, I am expecting to execute this code in every call. However; the game is executing only once and showing the same AlertDialog in every other execution. I mean, like the instance is not created after the first one is created and the first instance is used all the time.

case R.id.display_success:           
       updateGameSettings();
       message = formatLevel()
       + formatMission();
       return new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
       .setIcon(R.drawable.smiley_happy)
       .setTitle(R.string.dialog_success)
       .setMessage(message)
       .setPositiveButton(R.string.alert_dialog_newgame, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
               public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,     int whichButton) {
                       startANewGame();
               }
       })
       .setNegativeButton(R.string.exit, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
               public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
                     finish();
               }
       })
       .create();

Answer 1

onPrepareDialog method is called when the dialog is shown. So, it is better to change the text or other features by overriding this method.
