Study Notes
Dialogs
- A dialog is a small window that provides additional information without filling the whole screen.
- It prompts users for decisions (e.g., Save, Cancel, Exit).
- It displays extra information (e.g., Progress, Date/Time).
Dialog Types
- AlertDialog: Standard dialog, up to three buttons (e.g., Positive, Negative, Cancel).
- ProgressDialog: Displays progress (deprecated for general newer APIs).
- DatePickerDialog and TimePickerDialog: Predefined dialogs for selecting dates or times.
- Custom Dialogs: User-defined layouts used in dialogs.
Creating a Dialog
- Use AlertDialog.Builder to create a dialog.
- Up to three buttons: "positive," "negative," and "cancel".
- Set positive and negative buttons, disable cancel if needed.
AlertDialog
- Instead of buttons, you can use radio buttons (more than just three).
- Use Builder.setSingleChoiceItems.
- Provide a CharSequence array for the items (e.g., "Remove Walls," "Add Walls").
DialogFragment
- Use DialogFragment instead of AlertDialog.Builder.
- Implement
onCreateDialog(Bundle)
. - Optionally implement
onCreateView
. - DialogFragments can be added to a frameLayout or use
show
method.
Why Use DialogFragments?
- Lifecycle-aware.
- Better alignment with fragments in modern Android.
Input (Keyboard, Touch, Controllers, and Device Sensors )
- For most inputs, add a custom listener to the view class.
- EditText has a keyboard listener since it accepts input.
- You add a listener to a view (widgets), and then it only works for that widget.
- Unless a view takes up the entire screen, there's no listener for a "screen".
- The exception is the sensor, where it's for the device.
View
- A View class to extend and create custom views.
- Use ImageView widget and add listeners.
- Note: Views need attributes to work with listeners (
android:focusable="true"
,android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
, andandroid:clickable="true"
).
Keyboard Input
- This is a section concerning standard keyboard input.
View.OnKeyListener
- Implements
View.OnKeyListener
. - Override the
onKey
method (public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
). - Note: There's no char field; you get the KeyCode.
View.OnKeyListener (What key was pressed?)
- Use
event.getMatch(char[] chars)
to check against character arrays. - Returns the character if a match is found,
\0
otherwise. - Use
KeyEvent.Constants
(e.g.,KEYCODE_0
). - Example constants (e.g.,
KEYCODE_CAMERA
,KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT
).
View.OnKeyListener (Adding a listener)
- Add a listener to the view (e.g., ImageView).
iv.setOnKeyListener(new myKeyListener())
.- Listener is called when the view gets focus.
View Overrides
- When extending a View class you also override
onKeyDown(int, KeyEvent)
,onKeyUp(int, KeyEvent)
,onTrackballEvent(MotionEvent)
.
Touch Input
- There's an
OnTouchListener
. - You can also use OnClickListener and OnLongClickListener, especially for buttons.
View.OnTouchListener
- Implements
View.OnTouchListener
. - Override
onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event)
. onTouch
returnstrue
if the event is handled,false
otherwise.- This method has info about the touch event (
MotionEvent
).
