Android: Open Dialog on TextView click

Question

I am trying to open a dialog when clicking on a TextView. I have some code installed and I receive an error as shown below. Unfortunately I cannot resolve this on my own and thus need your help please.

The TextView

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/Title"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:fontFamily="casual"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:onClick="openOptions"
        android:padding="4dp"
        android:text="@string/optionsText"
        android:textAllCaps="true"
        android:textColor="#000"
        android:textSize="14sp" />

MainActivity.java:

import android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.Editable;
import android.text.SpannableString;
import android.text.TextWatcher;
import android.text.style.UnderlineSpan;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    TextView subtotal1, subtotal2, subtotal3, totalScore;
    EditText[] editTexts = new EditText[30];
    int[] allNumbers = new int[30];
    int tempID, sumSub1, sumSub2, sumSub3, totalSum;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        subtotal1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.subtotal1);
        subtotal2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.subtotal2);
        subtotal3 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.subtotal3);
        totalScore = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Total);

        for (int i = 0; i < editTexts.length; i++) {
            tempID = getResources().getIdentifier("field" + (i+1), "id", getPackageName());
            editTexts[i] = (EditText) findViewById(tempID);
            editTexts[i].addTextChangedListener(allTextWatcher);
        }
    }

    public void openOptions() {
        DialogFragment newFragment = new OptionsDialogFragment();
        newFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "options");
    }

}

OptionsDialogFragment.java:

import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.os.Bundle;

/**
 * Created by lukas on 14.07.2017.
 */

public class OptionsDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
        builder.setTitle(R.string.dialog_message)
                .setItems(R.array.options_array, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        // The 'which' argument contains the index position
                        // of the selected item
                    }
                });
        return builder.create();
    }
}

When clicking on the TextView, I get the following error message:

Use your function like below code;

  public void openOptions(View v) {
    DialogFragment newFragment = new OptionsDialogFragment();
    newFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "options");
}

use below code in onClickListener

AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    alertDialogBuilder.setTitle("Are you sure?");
    alertDialogBuilder
            .setCancelable(false)
            .setPositiveButton("Yes",
                    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                            moveTaskToBack(true);
                            Process.killProcess(Process.myPid());
                            System.exit(1);
                        }
                    })

            .setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {

                    dialog.cancel();

                }
            });

    AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();
    alertDialog.show();

public void openOptions(View view) {
        DialogFragment newFragment = new OptionsDialogFragment();
        newFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "options");
}

You need to keep the onclick method signature as public void method(View view) then only Textview onClick can detect and call it.

your logcat tells the problem itself: `Could not find method openOptions(View)` – Anand Kumar Aug 25 '17 at 13:09
