how to use number picker with dialog

Question

I want to use a number picker for the purpose of getting the discount percentage from the user. once the user enters the sale price, i want a dialog box to appear asking for the discount percentage. I cannot find a way to integrate the numberpicker in the dialog.

Answer 1

I have made a small demo of NumberPicker. This may not be perfect but you can use and modify the same.

Use a custom dialog and set the number picker.

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements NumberPicker.OnValueChangeListener
{
    private TextView tv;
    static Dialog d ;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button11);// on click of button display the dialog
         b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
         {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                 show();
            }
            });
           }
    @Override
    public void onValueChange(NumberPicker picker, int oldVal, int newVal) {

         Log.i("value is",""+newVal);

     }

    public void show()
    {

         final Dialog d = new Dialog(MainActivity.this);
         d.setTitle("NumberPicker");
         d.setContentView(R.layout.dialog);
         Button b1 = (Button) d.findViewById(R.id.button1);
         Button b2 = (Button) d.findViewById(R.id.button2);
         final NumberPicker np = (NumberPicker) d.findViewById(R.id.numberPicker1);
         np.setMaxValue(100); // max value 100
         np.setMinValue(0);   // min value 0
         np.setWrapSelectorWheel(false);
         np.setOnValueChangedListener(this);
         b1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
         {
          @Override
          public void onClick(View v) {
              tv.setText(String.valueOf(np.getValue())); //set the value to textview
              d.dismiss();
           }    
          });
         b2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
         {
          @Override
          public void onClick(View v) {
              d.dismiss(); // dismiss the dialog
           }    
          });
       d.show();


    }
}
