Question

This may seem like a simple problem to solve, but I’m new to Android so please bear with me. I have the following code fragment that displays an alert box:

Builder pwBox = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    AlertDialog pwDialog;
    LayoutInflater mInflater = (LayoutInflater) this
            .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    View pwView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.passworddialog, null);

    Button btnSetPassword = (Button) pwView
            .findViewById(R.id.btnSetPassword);

    pwBox.setView(pwView);
    pwBox.setCancelable(false);
    pwBox.setTitle("New Password");
    pwDialog = pwBox.create();

    btnSetPassword.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            //pwDialog.dismiss(); <------ Problem Line
        }
    });

    pwDialog.show();

Everything works. The problem is, I don’t have access to the “pwDialog” variable, so how do I close my dialog?

It looks as though you should have access to your pwDialog variable. You may need to declare it as final though.

final AlertDialog pwDialog = pwBox.create();
