Question

My question is pertaining to android layout. I would like to open a new window that will display an edit text in the background.

Eg. Clicking on UserName —> should open a new window that should show a new EditText with an OK and CANCEL button below.

How would I go about this. Should I be changing my Layout.xml or should I be adding some code after the OnClick().

Thanks for your reply !

Answer 1

use the Alert Dialog Like this

 // Add text to dialog
 text = new EditText(this);
 alertDialog.setView(text);          
 alertDialog.setMessage("Enter Your Name");  
 alertDialog.setButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {  
 public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
     entered_name = text.getText().toString();                                    
     return;  
    }   
 });  
 alertDialog.setNegativeButton("Cancel",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {  
     public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) { 
     return;  
     } 
  }); 
  alertDialog.show();        
}
