I am a newbie trying to learn Java at the same time as learning Android. I need to show a dialog containing two EditTexts and return the values:
I am using the following code: public static String addItem(final Context context) { final String myTitle = ""; final Dialog myDialog = new Dialog(context); Window window = myDialog.getWindow(); window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND); myDialog.setTitle("Add Item"); myDialog.setContentView(R.layout.additem); final EditText txtTitle = (EditText)myDialog.findViewById(R.id.txtTitle); final EditText txtNote = (EditText)myDialog.findViewById(R.id.txtNote); Button btnOK = (Button)myDialog.findViewById(R.id.btnAddItem); Button btnCancel = (Button)myDialog.findViewById(R.id.btnCancelAddItem); btnOK.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { String thisTitle = txtTitle.getText().toString(); String thisNote = txtNote.getText().toString(); if (thisTitle.length() == 0) { Toast.makeText(context, "Title is blank!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); return; } if (thisNote.length() == 0) { Toast.makeText(context, "Note cannot be blank", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); return; } myDialog.dismiss(); myTitle = thisTitle + "---" + thisNote; <---- error here } }); btnCancel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { myDialog.dismiss(); } }); myDialog.show(); return myTitle; } Within the Click handler for the button I get the error 'the final local variable myTitle cannot be assigned, since it is defined in an emclosing type. I would be grateful for any help with this. Nimusi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!
