Question

i’m stuck whit a very strange problem. I have an editText in a dialog. If I open the dialog one time (tapping on a element of a ListView) and do some stuff all ok. If I open the dialog the next time (tapping on a different element of a ListView) the editText display the same value of the first time.

toast(profilesList.get(toEdit).get(NAME).toString()); //toast say Bob
et_profileName.setText(profilesList.get(toEdit).get(NAME).toString()); //I see Alice

Another strange thing: if I rotate the display the text change in “BobAlice”. If I close the dialog, and then I reopen it, all work well and the dialog display the right Strings.

Any suggestions?

EDIT:
et_profileName is in a dialog that opens when you click an item in the ListView.

More code:

protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    dialog = new Dialog(this);
    ...
    et_profileName= (EditText)dialog.findViewById(R.id.et_profileName);
    ...
}

Here is when I call the dialog:

showDialog(DIALOG_EDIT_PROFILE);
toast(profilesList.get(toEdit).get(NAME).toString());
et_profileName.setText(profilesList.get(toEdit).get(NAME).toString());

Also don’t work if I put

et_profileName= (EditText)dialog.findViewById(R.id.et_profileName);

before the et_profileName.setText(…)

SOLVED:

Should override the onPrepareDialog(int id, Dialog dialog) to prepare a
managed dialog before it is being shown.

Added this code, it works:

@Override
protected void onPrepareDialog(int id, Dialog dialog){
    et_profileName= (EditText)dialog.findViewById(R.id.et_profileName);
    if(id==DIALOG_EDIT_PROFILE){
        et_profileName.setText(profilesList.get(toEdit).get(NAME).toString());
    }
}

Thanks you all!
