- Android can't get EditText getText().toString() in a Dialog 1 answer
Like the title said how can I get text out of EditText which is found inside a custom dialog?
This is the onCreateDialog method from my dialogfragment:
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
LayoutInflater inflater = getActivity().getLayoutInflater();
SharedPreferences sharedPref = getActivity().getPreferences(Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
final SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sharedPref.edit();
builder.setView(inflater.inflate(R.layout.name_dialog, null))
.setPositiveButton(R.string.name_ok, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
EditText nameEditText = (EditText) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.name_text_view);
editor.putString(getString(R.string.name_key), nameEditText.getText().toString());
editor.commit();
}
})
.setNegativeButton(R.string.name_cancel, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
NameDialogFragment.this.getDialog().cancel();
}
});
return builder.create();
}
I can't get it to work.. I write something in the edittext then i press OK and it just crashes and gives me a null pointer error on this line :
editor.putString(getString(R.string.name_key), nameEditText.getText().toString());
