I am working on an app that when you go to a screen you select your location from a dialog which is created within onCreate
. Once the location is selected it writes it into a predined TextView
. A problem that I am having is when the screen orientation changes it recreates the dialog and I'm trying to have it not fire the dialog function.
Here is the basics of what I have within the class file.
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.emergpolice);
form_location = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.input_location);
if(form_location == null || form_location.getText().equals("")){
setLocation();
}
}
@Override
protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState){
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
outState.putString("LOCATION", (String)form_location.getText());
}
@Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
form_location.setText(savedInstanceState.getString("LOCATION"));
}
public void setLocation(){
db = new DatabaseHandler(this);
db.open();
final CharSequence[] locOpt = {getString(R.string.dialog_items_current_location),getString(R.string.dialog_items_home),getString(R.string.dialog_items_enter_manually)};
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle(getString(R.string.header_choose_location));
builder.setSingleChoiceItems(locOpt, -1, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item){
if(locOpt[item].equals(getString(R.string.dialog_items_home))){
Cursor cur = db.userInfo();
String address = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("address"));
String city = cur.getString(7);
String county = cur.getString(8);
String state = cur.getString(9);
String zip = cur.getString(10);
db.close();
form_location.setText(address + ", " + city + ", " + county + ", " + state + ", " + zip);
}
if(locOpt[item].equals(getString(R.string.dialog_items_current_location))){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), locOpt[item], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
dialog.cancel();
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
}
And the TextView
in my layout is
<TextView
android:id="@+id/input_location"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/text_location"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="" />
As far as firing setLocation()
is have tried several scenarios to check the string length, whether null or not. When the screen changes it shows the original chosen location, but still fires the dialog.
