Question

I want to display certain content on a section if the user is logged in. However, if the user isn’t logged in, I would like to show a dialog prompting the user to login. I would also like to display the facebook login button inside this dialog.

However, the login button inside the dialog doesn’t seem to work. And when I place it inside the activity layout, it does work.

Is there a way to make it function correctly inside the dialog?

Here is the dialog xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/heart"
        android:layout_width="80dp"
        android:layout_height="70dp"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="70dp"
        android:background="@drawable/favorite_dialog"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/question_favorites"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF" 
        android:layout_below="@+id/heart"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textSize="20sp"/>

     <TextView
        android:id="@+id/explanation_favorites"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textColor="#FFFFFF" 
        android:layout_below="@+id/question_favorites"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="40dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="40dp"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        android:textStyle="italic"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>

     <com.facebook.widget.LoginButton
        android:id="@+id/authButton"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_above="@+id/button"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        />

    <Button 
        android:id="@+id/button"
        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:text="Cancelar"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_marginBottom="30dp"
        android:background="@drawable/cancel"/>

</RelativeLayout>

This dialog is shown on the onCreate method, and it contains a cancel button which dismisses it.

I would appreciate any help. Many thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I figured this one out, it was quite simple, but not so elegant.

What I did was to put the facebook login button inside the main layout, hidden. Then, I set up a listener on the dialog button, and inside it I added “facebookLogin.performClick();”.

That redirected the click to the facebook login listener.

Thanks anyways!
