Question

I have a game for android, and when the user wins, it shows a dialog asking if they want to play again. If they say “no”, the application exits, and if they say “yes”, it starts another game. The problem is that a new game starts as the dialog is displayed, instead of waiting for the user to press a button. The code is like this:

if (won) {
    showDialog(DIALOG_WON_ID);
    imageAdapter.initializemThumbIds();  // this starts a new game
}

I don’t want the start-new-game line to execute until the dialog is dismissed.

Answer 1

Put this call

imageAdapter.initializemThumbIds();

Into the “yes” button click event.

EDIT:

Something like this:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage("Would you like to play again?")
       .setCancelable(false)
       .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
           public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
               imageAdapter.initializemThumbIds();
           }
       })
       .setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { 
           public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { 
               // Exit the game
           } 
       });
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();   
alert.show();
