Android中带有editText的AlertDialog

Question

I need to put in an editText inside of an alertDialog. From what I can understand, from this , I need to create a custom dialog. Is that really the only way to put an editText in a alertDialog? I don't want to take make steps than needed to complete a simple task. It should like this in the end:

------------------------
-Please enter your name-
- [                   ]-
-         (Save)       -
------------------------

Answer 1

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

alert.setTitle("Title");
alert.setMessage("Message");

// Set an EditText view to get user input 
final EditText input = new EditText(this);
alert.setView(input);

This way you don't have to create a new custom dialogue.

Answer 2

Yes, this is the proper (and potentially only) way to do this at present.

Something like this:

final EditText input = new EditText(this);
AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
    .setTitle("Please enter your name")
    .setView(input) // Use our EditText
    .setPositiveButton("Save", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            // Save value of `input.getText()`
        }
    }).show();

This is a customized version of the code from this blog that I use from time to time.

Answer 3

You can not only put EditText, but any thing you want. Just create an XML layout for what ever you want to put and then use it as is shown in the link :-

how to get customized alert dialog , like the one shown in image?
