Question

I seem to be having an issue creating an AlertDialog. What I am trying to do is create a custom AlertDialog that pops up when a specific RadioButton is clicked. Here is my relevant code:

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        m_Minutes = -1;
        m_this=this;

        String prefName = getString(R.string.prefsfile);
        SharedPreferences settings = getSharedPreferences(prefName, 0);
        String defaultTextBackMessage = settings.getString("textBackMessage", getString(R.string.defaultTextBackMessage));
        EditText txtMessage = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
        txtMessage.setText(defaultTextBackMessage);

        final Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
        final RadioButton manualButton = (RadioButton)findViewById(R.id.radio0);
        final RadioButton button15 = (RadioButton)findViewById(R.id.radio1);
        final RadioButton button30 = (RadioButton)findViewById(R.id.radio2);
        final RadioButton customButton = (RadioButton)findViewById(R.id.radio3);

        manualButton.setChecked(true);
        customButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Context c = v.getContext();
                LayoutInflater factory = LayoutInflater.from(v.getContext());
                final View minuteEntryView = factory.inflate(R.layout.customtime, null);
                AlertDialog ad = AlertDialog.Builder(c).create(); // this is the trouble line
            }
        });

I am getting an error at the AlertDialog ad = AlertDialog.Builder(c).create(); line. The error I am getting is The Method Builder(Context) is undefined for the type AlertDialog. Clearly, however, the Google API Docs does have a Builder constructor. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

should’t you say this…

AlertDialog ad = new AlertDialog.Builder(c).create();

you forgot new keyWord..
As you can clearly see, its saying no Method found, which means you are calling its constructor in usual way but in the way you call a method.
