Dialog

Dialog

Dialog(context: Context)

Creates a dialog window that uses the default dialog theme.

The supplied context is used to obtain the window manager and base theme used to present the dialog.

Dialog

Dialog(
    context: Context, 
    themeResId: Int)

Creates a dialog window that uses a custom dialog style.

The supplied context is used to obtain the window manager and base theme used to present the dialog.

The supplied theme is applied on top of the context's theme. See Style and Theme Resources for more information about defining and using styles.

Dialog

protected Dialog(
    context: Context, 
    cancelable: Boolean, 
    cancelListener: DialogInterface.OnCancelListener?)

addContentView

open fun addContentView(
    view: View, 
    params: ViewGroup.LayoutParams?
): Unit

Add an additional content view to the screen. Added after any existing ones in the screen -- existing views are NOT removed.

cancel

open fun cancel(): Unit

Cancel the dialog. This is essentially the same as calling dismiss(), but it will also call your DialogInterface.OnCancelListener (if registered).

closeOptionsMenu

open fun closeOptionsMenu(): Unit

create

open fun create(): Unit

Forces immediate creation of the dialog.

Note that you should not override this method to perform dialog creation. Rather, override onCreate(android.os.Bundle).

dismiss

open fun dismiss(): Unit

Dismiss this dialog, removing it from the screen. This method can be invoked safely from any thread. Note that you should not override this method to do cleanup when the dialog is dismissed, instead implement that in onStop.

dispatchGenericMotionEvent

open fun dispatchGenericMotionEvent(ev: MotionEvent): Boolean

Called to process generic motion events. You can override this to intercept all generic motion events before they are dispatched to the window. Be sure to call this implementation for generic motion events that should be handled normally.

dispatchKeyEvent

open fun dispatchKeyEvent(event: KeyEvent): Boolean

Called to process key events. You can override this to intercept all key events before they are dispatched to the window. Be sure to call this implementation for key events that should be handled normally.

dispatchKeyShortcutEvent

open fun dispatchKeyShortcutEvent(event: KeyEvent): Boolean

Called to process a key shortcut event. You can override this to intercept all key shortcut events before they are dispatched to the window. Be sure to call this implementation for key shortcut events that should be handled normally.

dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent

open fun dispatchPopulateAccessibilityEvent(event: AccessibilityEvent): Boolean

Called to process population of AccessibilityEvents.

dispatchTouchEvent

open fun dispatchTouchEvent(ev: MotionEvent): Boolean

Called to process touch screen events. You can override this to intercept all touch screen events before they are dispatched to the window. Be sure to call this implementation for touch screen events that should be handled normally.

dispatchTrackballEvent

open fun dispatchTrackballEvent(ev: MotionEvent): Boolean

Called to process trackball events. You can override this to intercept all trackball events before they are dispatched to the window. Be sure to call this implementation for trackball events that should be handled normally.

findViewById

open fun <T : View!> findViewById(id: Int): T

Finds the first descendant view with the given ID or null if the ID is invalid (< 0), there is no matching view in the hierarchy, or the dialog has not yet been fully created (for example, via show() or create()).

Note: In most cases -- depending on compiler support -- the resulting view is automatically cast to the target class type. If the target class type is unconstrained, an explicit cast may be necessary.

getActionBar

open fun getActionBar(): ActionBar?

Retrieve the ActionBar attached to this dialog, if present.

getContext

fun getContext(): Context

Retrieve the Context this Dialog is running in.

getCurrentFocus

open fun getCurrentFocus(): View?

Call android.view.Window#getCurrentFocus on the Window if this Activity to return the currently focused view.

getLayoutInflater

open fun getLayoutInflater(): LayoutInflater

getOnBackInvokedDispatcher

open fun getOnBackInvokedDispatcher(): OnBackInvokedDispatcher

Returns the OnBackInvokedDispatcher instance associated with the window that this dialog is attached to.

getOwnerActivity

fun getOwnerActivity(): Activity?

Returns the Activity that owns this Dialog. For example, if Activity#showDialog(int) is used to show this Dialog, that Activity will be the owner (by default). Depending on how this dialog was created, this may return null.

getSearchEvent

fun getSearchEvent(): SearchEvent?

During the onSearchRequested() callbacks, this function will return the SearchEvent that triggered the callback, if it exists.

getVolumeControlStream

fun getVolumeControlStream(): Int

getWindow

open fun getWindow(): Window?

open fun hide(): Unit

Hide the dialog, but do not dismiss it.

invalidateOptionsMenu

open fun invalidateOptionsMenu(): Unit

isShowing

open fun isShowing(): Boolean

onActionModeFinished

open fun onActionModeFinished(mode: ActionMode!): Unit

Called when an action mode has been finished. The appropriate mode callback method will have already been invoked. Note that if you override this method you should always call through to the superclass implementation by calling super.onActionModeFinished(mode).
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onActionModeStarted

open fun onActionModeStarted(mode: ActionMode!): Unit

Called when an action mode has been started. The appropriate mode callback method will have already been invoked. Note that if you override this method you should always call through to the superclass implementation by calling super.onActionModeStarted(mode).
If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onAttachedToWindow

open fun onAttachedToWindow(): Unit

onBackPressed

open fun onBackPressed(): Unit

Deprecated: Use OnBackInvokedCallback or androidx.activity.OnBackPressedCallback to handle back navigation instead.

Starting from Android 13 (API level 33), back event handling is moving to an ahead-of-time model and onBackPressed() and KeyEvent#KEYCODE_BACK should not be used to handle back events (back gesture or back button click). Instead, an OnBackInvokedCallback should be registered using Dialog#getOnBackInvokedDispatcher() .registerOnBackInvokedCallback(priority, callback).

Called when the dialog has detected the user's press of the back key. The default implementation simply cancels the dialog (only if it is cancelable), but you can override this to do whatever you want.

If you target version android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#TIRAMISU or later, you should not use this method but register an OnBackInvokedCallback on an OnBackInvokedDispatcher that you can retrieve using getOnBackInvokedDispatcher(). You should also set android:enableOnBackInvokedCallback="true" in the application manifest.

Alternatively, you can use androidx.activity.ComponentDialog#getOnBackPressedDispatcher() for backward compatibility.

onContentChanged

open fun onContentChanged(): Unit

onContextItemSelected

open fun onContextItemSelected(item: MenuItem): Boolean

onContextMenuClosed

open fun onContextMenuClosed(menu: Menu): Unit

onCreateContextMenu

open fun onCreateContextMenu(
    menu: ContextMenu!, 
    v: View!, 
    menuInfo: ContextMenu.ContextMenuInfo!
): Unit

onCreateOptionsMenu

open fun onCreateOptionsMenu(menu: Menu): Boolean

It is usually safe to proxy this call to the owner activity's Activity#onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu) if the client desires the same menu for this Dialog.

onCreatePanelMenu

open fun onCreatePanelMenu(
    featureId: Int, 
    menu: Menu
): Boolean

onCreatePanelView

open fun onCreatePanelView(featureId: Int): View?

onDetachedFromWindow

open fun onDetachedFromWindow(): Unit

onGenericMotionEvent

open fun onGenericMotionEvent(event: MotionEvent): Boolean

Called when a generic motion event was not handled by any of the views inside of the dialog.

Generic motion events describe joystick movements, mouse hovers, track pad touches, scroll wheel movements and other input events. The source of the motion event specifies the class of input that was received. Implementations of this method must examine the bits in the source before processing the event. The following code example shows how this is done.

Generic motion events with source class android.view.InputDevice#SOURCE_CLASS_POINTER are delivered to the view under the pointer. All other generic motion events are delivered to the focused view.

See View#onGenericMotionEvent(MotionEvent) for an example of how to handle this event.

onKeyDown

open fun onKeyDown(
    keyCode: Int, 
    event: KeyEvent
): Boolean

A key was pressed down.

If the focused view didn't want this event, this method is called.

Default implementation consumes KEYCODE_BACK and, as of P, KEYCODE_ESCAPE to later handle them in onKeyUp.

onKeyLongPress

open fun onKeyLongPress(
    keyCode: Int, 
    event: KeyEvent
): Boolean

Default implementation of KeyEvent.Callback.onKeyLongPress(): always returns false (doesn't handle the event).

onKeyMultiple

open fun onKeyMultiple(
    keyCode: Int, 
    repeatCount: Int, 
    event: KeyEvent
): Boolean

Default implementation of KeyEvent.Callback.onKeyMultiple(): always returns false (doesn't handle the event).

onKeyShortcut

open fun onKeyShortcut(
    keyCode: Int, 
    event: KeyEvent
): Boolean

Called when a key shortcut event is not handled by any of the views in the Dialog. Override this method to implement global key shortcuts for the Dialog. Key shortcuts can also be implemented by setting the shortcut property of menu items.

onKeyUp

open fun onKeyUp(
    keyCode: Int, 
    event: KeyEvent
): Boolean

A key was released.

Default implementation consumes KEYCODE_BACK and, as of P, KEYCODE_ESCAPE to close the dialog.

onMenuItemSelected

open fun onMenuItemSelected(
    featureId: Int, 
    item: MenuItem
): Boolean

onMenuOpened

open fun onMenuOpened(
    featureId: Int, 
    menu: Menu
): Boolean

onOptionsItemSelected

open fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem): Boolean

onOptionsMenuClosed

open fun onOptionsMenuClosed(menu: Menu): Unit

onPanelClosed

open fun onPanelClosed(
    featureId: Int, 
    menu: Menu
): Unit

onPrepareOptionsMenu

open fun onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu: Menu): Boolean

It is usually safe to proxy this call to the owner activity's Activity#onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu) if the client desires the same menu for this Dialog.

onPreparePanel

open fun onPreparePanel(
    featureId: Int, 
    view: View?, 
    menu: Menu
): Boolean

onRestoreInstanceState

open fun onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState: Bundle): Unit

Restore the state of the dialog from a previously saved bundle. The default implementation restores the state of the dialog's view hierarchy that was saved in the default implementation of onSaveInstanceState(), so be sure to call through to super when overriding unless you want to do all restoring of state yourself.

onSaveInstanceState

open fun onSaveInstanceState(): Bundle

Saves the state of the dialog into a bundle. The default implementation saves the state of its view hierarchy, so you'll likely want to call through to super if you override this to save additional state.

onSearchRequested

open fun onSearchRequested(searchEvent: SearchEvent): Boolean

This hook is called when the user signals the desire to start a search.

onSearchRequested

open fun onSearchRequested(): Boolean

This hook is called when the user signals the desire to start a search.

onTouchEvent

open fun onTouchEvent(event: MotionEvent): Boolean

Called when a touch screen event was not handled by any of the views under it. This is most useful to process touch events that happen outside of your window bounds, where there is no view to receive it.

onTrackballEvent

open fun onTrackballEvent(event: MotionEvent): Boolean

Called when the trackball was moved and not handled by any of the views inside of the activity. So, for example, if the trackball moves while focus is on a button, you will receive a call here because buttons do not normally do anything with trackball events. The call here happens before trackball movements are converted to DPAD key events, which then get sent back to the view hierarchy, and will be processed at the point for things like focus navigation.

onWindowAttributesChanged

open fun onWindowAttributesChanged(params: WindowManager.LayoutParams!): Unit

onWindowFocusChanged

open fun onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus: Boolean): Unit

onWindowStartingActionMode

open fun onWindowStartingActionMode(callback: ActionMode.Callback!): ActionMode?

requireViewById

fun <T : View!> requireViewById(id: Int): T

Finds the first descendant view with the given ID or throws an IllegalArgumentException if the ID is invalid (< 0), there is no matching view in the hierarchy, or the dialog has not yet been fully created (for example, via show() or create()).

Note: In most cases -- depending on compiler support -- the resulting view is automatically cast to the target class type. If the target class type is unconstrained, an explicit cast may be necessary.

setCancelMessage

open fun setCancelMessage(msg: Message?): Unit

Set a message to be sent when the dialog is canceled.

setCancelable

open fun setCancelable(flag: Boolean): Unit

Sets whether this dialog is cancelable with the BACK key.

setCanceledOnTouchOutside

Set the screen content from a layout resource. The resource will be inflated, adding all top-level views to the screen.

setContentView

open fun setContentView(view: View): Unit

Set the screen content to an explicit view. This view is placed directly into the screen's view hierarchy. It can itself be a complex view hierarchy.

setContentView

open fun setContentView(
    view: View, 
    params: ViewGroup.LayoutParams?
): Unit

Set the screen content to an explicit view. This view is placed directly into the screen's view hierarchy. It can itself be a complex view hierarchy.

setFeatureDrawableUri

fun setFeatureDrawableUri(
    featureId: Int, 
    uri: Uri?
): Unit

Convenience for calling android.view.Window#setFeatureDrawableUri.

setOnCancelListener

open fun setOnCancelListener(listener: DialogInterface.OnCancelListener?): Unit

Set a listener to be invoked when the dialog is canceled.

This will only be invoked when the dialog is canceled. Cancel events alone will not capture all ways that the dialog might be dismissed. If the creator needs to know when a dialog is dismissed in general, use setOnDismissListener.

setOnDismissListener

open fun setOnDismissListener(listener: DialogInterface.OnDismissListener?): Unit

Set a listener to be invoked when the dialog is dismissed.

setOnKeyListener

open fun setOnKeyListener(onKeyListener: DialogInterface.OnKeyListener?): Unit

Sets the callback that will be called if a key is dispatched to the dialog.

setOnShowListener

open fun setOnShowListener(listener: DialogInterface.OnShowListener?): Unit

Sets a listener to be invoked when the dialog is shown.

takeKeyEvents

open fun takeKeyEvents(get: Boolean): Unit

Request that key events come to this dialog. Use this if your dialog has no views with focus, but the dialog still wants a chance to process key events.

unregisterForContextMenu

open fun unregisterForContextMenu(view: View): Unit

onCreate

protected open fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle!): Unit

Similar to android.app.Activity#onCreate, you should initialize your dialog in this method, including calling #setContentView.

onStart

protected open fun onStart(): Unit

Called when the dialog is starting.

onStop

protected open fun onStop(): Unit

Called to tell you that you're stopping.
