Re: [android-developers] Coding style for modal dialog
DialogFragment is a cleaner way to do this, putting all of the dialog related code in a separate class instead of callbacks on Activity. You can use this with the fragment compat library on older platforms. You still can't do a blocking call to wait a result, however; your activity will need to have a separate callback to receive the result.

[android-developers] Coding style for modal dialog
Hello,
in my android application at some event in an activity I want to ask
the user for a name (string). I know how to do this: call showDialog,
create the dialog in the Activity.onCreateDialog method (I need to
supply a string for the label) and handle the result in the onClick of
the dialog. This works fine and to my satisfaction.
BUT doing it this way I have three different places (onCreateDialog,
onClick, and where I call ShowDialog), where this simple task spreads
throughout the code of my activity. I would much more prefer to keep
this code together, to write something like this:
string result;
if (showSimpleEditDialog(idForLabelString, result)==DIALOG_OK)
{
// do something with the result
}
or maybe with a class instance
SimpleEditDialog dlg = new SimpleEditDialog(idForLabelString);
if (dlg.showModal()==DIALOG_OK)
{
string result = dgl.getResult();
// do something with the result
}
(The idForLabelString would be some resource id for the label to
use, DIALOG_OK would be some constant returned when the user clicks
OK) I know, I would have to write this methodes or this class. But for
better readibility of my code I would do it. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Gerhard
