android alertdialog doesn't show after intent back to activity

Question

I'm making a alertdialog to fill in the receipt item. there is a button in the alertdialog that is used to move to a new activity for scanning QR. The problem is after scanning QR Code and intent back to Receipt Item Activity, the alertdialog doesn't show again so I need to press alertdialog button again. how can I make the alertdialog still show after intent back from QR Scanner to Create Receipt

I already try adding onShowListener but the alertdialog still doesn't show.

final AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
                alertDialog.setOnShowListener(new DialogInterface.OnShowListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onShow(DialogInterface dialog) {

                        Button btnScan = v.findViewById(R.id.alertdialog_receipt_scanqr);
                        btnScan.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(View v) {
                                Intent i = new Intent(CreateReceiptActivity.this, QRScannerActivity.class);
                                startActivityForResult(i, QR_REQUEST_CODE);
                                alertDialog.dismiss();
                                finish();
                            }
                        });
                    }
                });
                alertDialog.show(); 

this is the ReceiptActivity full code:

Answer 1

You call alertDialog.dismiss() and finish() after clicking on the QR button. Naturally this will close the alert dialog.

Either remove these two calls or open the dialog again in OnResume method.

 @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
openDialog();
    }

private void openDialog(){
final AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
                alertDialog.setOnShowListener(new DialogInterface.OnShowListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onShow(DialogInterface dialog) {

                        Button btnScan = v.findViewById(R.id.alertdialog_receipt_scanqr);
                        btnScan.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(View v) {
                                Intent i = new Intent(CreateReceiptActivity.this, QRScannerActivity.class);
                                startActivityForResult(i, QR_REQUEST_CODE);

                            }
                        });
                    }
                });
                alertDialog.show(); 

}

In case you dont want the alert to pop up when you minimaize and return you can

   if(getIntent() != null){
        isReturnedFromActivity = getIntent.getBooleanExtra(IS_RETURNED_FROM_ACTIVITY ,false);
        if(isReturnedFromActivity){
            openDialog();
        }
    }
}

And of course add IS_RETURNED_FROM_ACTIVITY key set to True when calling this activity.

Answer 2

you are dismissing your alert dialog in btnScan.setOnClickListener. So please remove "alertDialog.dismiss();" from that and remove finish() method also as below:

final AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
                alertDialog.setOnShowListener(new DialogInterface.OnShowListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onShow(DialogInterface dialog) {

                        Button btnScan = v.findViewById(R.id.alertdialog_receipt_scanqr);
                        btnScan.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(View v) {
                                Intent i = new Intent(CreateReceiptActivity.this, QRScannerActivity.class);
                                startActivityForResult(i, QR_REQUEST_CODE);

                            }
                        });
                    }
                });
                alertDialog.show(); 

Answer 3

I see that your addItem click listener is what calling the dialog to show so why not perform click on that button to show that dialog:

//in your QR activity intent :
Intent intent = new Intent(CONTEXT, ACTIVITY.class);
intent.putExtra("FLAG", "showDialog");
startActivity(intent);'

//when you return to your activity check your flag and
// if it is good you will have to show your dialog again

String flag = getIntent().getStringExtra("FLAG");
if(flag == "showDialog"){
     addItem.performClick();
}

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    builder.setMessage("Do you want to clean?")
      .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
      {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id)
        {
          dialog.dismiss();
          ((ActivityName) appContext).onResume();
        }
      })
      .setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
      {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id)
        {
          dialog.dismiss();``
        }
      });
    builder.create().show();
}
