                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int which) {
                            // Write your code here to execute after dialog
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Password Matched", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

I want to get as

 AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
 alertDialog.setTitle("PASSWORD");
 alertDialog.setMessage("Enter Password");

 final EditText input = new EditText(MainActivity.this);
 LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
     LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
     LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
 input.setLayoutParams(lp);
 alertDialog.setView(input);
 alertDialog.setIcon(R.drawable.key);

 alertDialog.setPositiveButton("YES",
     new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
         public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
             password = input.getText().toString();
             if (password.compareTo("") == 0) {
                 if (pass.equals(password)) {
                     Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                         "Password Matched", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                     Intent myIntent1 = new Intent(view.getContext(),
                         Show.class);
                     startActivityForResult(myIntent1, 0);
                 } else {
                     Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                         "Wrong Password!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                 }
             }
         }
     });

 alertDialog.setNegativeButton("NO",
     new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
         public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
             dialog.cancel();
         }
     });

 alertDialog.show();

Maybe stop struggling with Anko library for Kotlin?...

alert( "Title", "Message") {
            var input: EditText? = null
            customView {
                input = editText() {
                    hint = "Write your message in here"
                }
            }
            yesButton { toast("field text: ${input?.text}") }
            negativeButton("Nope") { } // Empty dismisses the alert
        }.show()

Simplified version

final EditText taskEditText = new EditText(this);
AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
        .setTitle("Add a new task")
        .setMessage("What do you want to do next?")
        .setView(taskEditText)
        .setPositiveButton("Add", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                String task = String.valueOf(taskEditText.getText());
                SQLiteDatabase db = mHelper.getWritableDatabase();
                ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
                values.put(TaskContract.TaskEntry.COL_TASK_TITLE, task);
                db.insertWithOnConflict(TaskContract.TaskEntry.TABLE,
                        null,
                        values,
                        SQLiteDatabase.CONFLICT_REPLACE);
                db.close();
                updateUI();
            }
        })
        .setNegativeButton("Cancel", null)
        .create();
dialog.show();
return true;

Try below code:

alert.setTitle(R.string.WtsOnYourMind);

 final EditText input = new EditText(context);
 input.setHeight(100);
 input.setWidth(340);
 input.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);

 input.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE);
 alert.setView(input);

Answer 4

I know its too late to answer this question but for others who are searching for some thing similar to this here is a simple code of an alertbox with an edittext

AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); 

or

new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext, R.style.MyCustomDialogTheme);

if you want to change the theme of the dialog.

final EditText edittext = new EditText(ActivityContext);
alert.setMessage("Enter Your Message");
alert.setTitle("Enter Your Title");

alert.setView(edittext);

alert.setPositiveButton("Yes Option", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
        //What ever you want to do with the value
        Editable YouEditTextValue = edittext.getText();
        //OR
        String YouEditTextValue = edittext.getText().toString();
    }
});

alert.setNegativeButton("No Option", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
        // what ever you want to do with No option.
    }
});

alert.show();

Simplest of all would be.

• Create xml layout file for dialog . Add whatever view you want like EditText , ListView , Spinner etc.

  Inflate this view and set this to AlertDialog

Lets start with Layout file first.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:orientation="vertical">


    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/etComments"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="top"
        android:hint="Enter comments(Optional)"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine"
        android:lines="8"
        android:maxLines="3"
        android:minLines="6"
        android:scrollbars="vertical" />

</LinearLayout>

---

final View view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.xml_file_created_above, null);
AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(ct).create();
alertDialog.setTitle("Your Title Here");
alertDialog.setIcon("Icon id here");
alertDialog.setCancelable(false);
Constant.alertDialog.setMessage("Your Message Here");


final EditText etComments = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.etComments);

alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE, "OK", new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

    }
});


alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEGATIVE, "Cancel", new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        alertDialog.dismiss()
    }
});


alertDialog.setView(view);
alertDialog.show();

Answer 6

Use Activtiy Context

Replace this

  final EditText input = new EditText(this);

By

  final EditText input = new EditText(MainActivity.this);  
  LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                        LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                        LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
  input.setLayoutParams(lp);
  alertDialog.setView(input); // uncomment this line
