Put ListAdapter inside Dialog Android

I currently display my search results by setListAdapter. I want to display this in a dialog and cannot figure out how. Here is the code I use to create my adapter:

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(getActivity(), R.layout.location_entry, WeatherData.getSingleton(getActivity().getApplication()).getLocNames()));

Is there any way to insert this into a dialog and still have the results clickable?

Solution

  • isn't it like you can make a list in the dialog by some build in functions? You could just pass the object to the dielog and iterate through to create a list Or you can always add a view, like an adapter view

    final CharSequence[] items = {"Red", "Green", "Blue"};

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle("Pick a color");
builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), items[item], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();

    or

    builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
builder.setView(layout);   // YOur view goes here
alertDialog = builder.create();
