I am working on an android project where I am trying to show a AlertDialog in a separate normal java class and return the result that the user enters. I can display the dialog fine but the problem I am having is it always returns the value before the dialog has had one of the buttons pressed.
Below is the code that calls the function in the standard java class to show the dialog
private void showDiagreeError()
{
Common common = new Common(this);
boolean dialogResult = common.showYesNoDialog();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Result: " + dialogResult, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
And below is the code that shows the actual dialogue
public boolean showYesNoDialog()
{
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
builder.setMessage("Are you sure you do not want to agree to the terms, if you choose not to, you cannot use Boardies Password Manager")
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialogResult = true;
}
})
.setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
dialogResult = false;
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
return dialogResult;
}
dialogResult is a global variable visible throughout the class and being set to false. As soon as the dialog is shown the toast message is shown showing the result is false, but I was expecting the return statement to block until the user has pressed one of the buttons too set the variable to the correct value.
How can I get this to work.
