Program exiting when no input given and alert dialog not fixing the error

Question

Here's the Program, it works and all but when I Pull the seek bar when there is not number in the input box the program exits and the alert dialog is not doing its job even though i put a try and catch on the code.

 public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    private SeekBar sbCash;
    private Button btnten,btntwenty,btnthirty;
    private TextView tvShwProg,tvfinal;
    private EditText etCash;
    final Context context = this;


    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {


        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        etCash = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.etCash);
        sbCash = (SeekBar)findViewById(R.id.sbCash);
        tvShwProg = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvShwProg);
        tvfinal = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvFinal);
        btnten = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnten);
        btntwenty = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btntwenty);
        btnthirty = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnthirty);

        etCash.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher(){

            public void afterTextChanged(Editable arg0)

Answer 1

when no input given and alert dialog not fixing the error

because currently you are returning AlertDialog.Builder instance from errormessage() method and not calling AlertDialog.show() for showing Dialog. so you will need to alert.show() to show AlertDialog . do it as:

      try{
          guiChanged();
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
            AlertDialog alert =errormessage();
             alert.show(); //<<< show AlertDialog here
        }

Answer 2

There are better ways to get sure that there is an input at Your editText etCash. I don´t know exactly what You are trying to do, but if the user should give some input into the etCash, You can get sure, that there is only a number input by setting this attributes to Your etCash inside xml layout. For example:

        android:inputType="number"

or

        android:inputType="numberDecimal"

or

        android:inputType="numberSigned"

this depends on what You want. I think in Your case, "numberDecimal" is the best way.

Also, You can check before parsing:

     if(etCash.getText().toString().length()<1){
              //show warning
     }

If you want to check if input is a number:

    private boolean isNumeric(String str){

for (char c : str.toCharArray())
    {
    if (!Character.isDigit(c)) return false;
     }
   return true;
  }
