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.
