Question

I have an AlertDialog, which for some strange reason cannot access a final int deptID.
When passing the value to the ConfirmRemoval-function, the value is correct, but when I enter the dialog’s onClick event, the final int is undefined!

I have even tried to change this to a global variable, but still no luck.
Anybody know what is going on?

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle){
    super.onCreate(icicle);

    this.setContentView(R.layout.generic_list);
    Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    if (extras == null) {return;}
    this.getListView().setOnItemLongClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() {

        public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> adv, View v,
                int pos, long id) {
            Cursor cursor = (Cursor)adv.getItemAtPosition(pos);
            int deptID = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("DeptID"));
            ConfirmRemoval(deptID);
            return true; //NOTE! If returning false, the itemClick event will fire
        }
    });
}

private void ConfirmRemoval(final int deptID){
        AlertDialog.Builder bld = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
        bld.setCancelable(false);
        bld.setTitle(R.string.deptRemove);
        bld.setMessage(R.string.deptRemoveMsg);
        bld.setPositiveButton("OK", new AlertDialog.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

                Dept.RemoveDept(deptID);
                dialog.dismiss();
                GetDepartments();
            }


        });
        bld.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new AlertDialog.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                dialog.cancel();
            }
        });
        AlertDialog alert = bld.create();
        alert.show();
}

Thanks,

Instead of

Dept.RemoveDept(deptID) do

int deptIDlocal = deptID; Dept.RemoveDept(deptIDlocal)
