Question

I need my app to create a dialog Seekbar. But I cannot make it work. I referring this stackoverflow question Android, SeekBar in dialog and here is my code.

I am creating a menu, and on menu item when user clicks size_config button it should show seekbar.

 }if(item.getItemId() == R.id.size_config){
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        View layout = inflater.inflate(R.id.dialog, (ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.layout));
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
        .setView(layout);
        AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
        alertDialog.show();
        SeekBar sb = (SeekBar)layout.findViewById(R.id.dialog);
        sb.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener() {
            public void onProgressChanged(SeekBar seekBar, int progress, boolean fromUser){
                Log.d("Dialog to change size", "It's working");
            }

            @Override
            public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }

            @Override
            public void onStopTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            }
        });
    }

And this is the layout file.

dialog.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:orientation="vertical"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:padding="10dp"
   android:id="@+id/layout">

<SeekBar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:id="@+id/dialog"
   android:layout_width="225dp"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>

Here is the error code.

Answer 1

Here is how to add SeekBar dialog,

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog);
dialog.setTitle("Set size!");
dialog.setCancelable(true);
//there are a lot of settings, for dialog, check them all out!
dialog.show();

seekbar = (SeekBar) dialog.findViewById(R.id.size_seekbar);
final TextView tv_dialog_size = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.set_size_help_text);

// and you can call seekbar.setOnSeekBarChangeListener(new OnSeekBarChangeListener() {
      //implement methods.
}

And dialog layout xml is,

 <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:id="@+id/layout"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:orientation="vertical"
     android:padding="2dp"
     android:layout_gravity="center" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/set_size_help_text"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"

    android:text="Please select snowflake size"
    android:textSize="25dp" />

<SeekBar
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/size_seekbar"
    android:layout_width="250dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp" />

</LinearLayout>
