zipCodeText.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() { public boolean onKey(View arg0View,int d,KeyEvent keyEvent) { Log.d("hey","pressed " + keyEvent.getKeyCode()); if(keyEvent.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) { if (zipCodeText.getText() != null && !zipCodeText.getText().toString().equals("")) { String zipCode= zipCodeText.getText().toString(); if( keyEvent.getKeyCode()==64) { Log.d("hey","pressed " + keyEvent.getKeyCode()); submitRequest(); } if( keyEvent.getKeyCode()==58 || keyEvent.getKeyCode()==68) { return true; } if( zipCode.toCharArray().length>=14 && isShown) { isShown = false; return true; } if( zipCode.toCharArray().length<=12 && !isShown) { isShown = true; return false; } if (zipCode.toCharArray().length>=13 && keyEvent.getKeyCode()>=7 && keyEvent.getKeyCode()<=16) { if (isShown) { isShown = false; Alert.getAlertIntance().showAlertBuilder(AddZipCode.this, "ZipCode", R.drawable.rivepoint_application_icon, "Field Full!", "OK", false, null, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) { } }); } return true; } } } return false; } }); but problem is that it shows lot of alertbox whenever i tried to put more charactars how can i check if alertbox is already there?
