Thanks for your responses! The problem is not to set the message of the dialog, but how to pass my customized message string to onCreateDialog or onPrepareDialog. Both functions only have a single int parameter (dialog id). When calling showDialog(..), I just can send a single dialog id, and not more parameters such as a customized message string.
For example, consider an alert dialog that shows the number of files in a folder. The message could be "Number of files: 15" or "Number of files: 21". How can I pass this message string over to onCreateDialog or onPrepareDialog? With API level 8, showDialog is extended by a Bundle parameter, which could be uses to pass such information. A solution would be to store my message string in a member variable of the activity before calling showDialog, and reading that member variable in onCreateDialog/onPrepareDialog. But this could cause problems when calling showDialog multipe times, because onCreateDialog/ onPrepareDialog are called asynchronously. Sorry if I didn't make the problem clear in my first message. Any more hints? Thanks, Andreas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
