Question

I want to click a edittext and show dialog date so I try

mDateDisplay = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.dateDisplay);
    mDateDisplay.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
            if (hasFocus) {
                showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID);
            }
        }
    });

The dialog will show if mDateDisplay is a button

but I want to use edittext

what should I do?

Answer 1

Use this:

mDateDisplay.setClickable(true);
mDateDisplay.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        showDialog(DATE_DIALOG_ID);
    }
});

Alternatively, you can use the android:onClick attribute in the XML to point to a click-handling function in your Activity subclass.

(These days, of course, when pretty much everyone uses the compatibility libraries, you would probably want to create and show a dialog fragment rather than calling showDialog(), but the idea is the same.)
