In this tutorial you will learn how to create Android custom alertdialog and how we can use a checkbox in order to hide the android alertdialog from showing up in the screen when launching the app again. - The link to the full tutorial is available here: http://www.codingdemos.com/android-custom-alertdialog/ Here is how to do it: - First we will create a layout xml file where we will add the android checkbox and we name that file (dialog_app_updates) - Now we create android alertdialog using alertdialog builder inside (MainActivity.java) like this: AlertDialog.Builder mBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this); - Next is we need to initialize the xml layout that have the checkbox like this: View mView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.dialog_app_updates, null); - Then we can declare the checkbox by using mView to be able to reference the checkbox in the layout file like this: CheckBox mCheckBox = mView.findViewById(R.id.checkBox); - We can give android alertdialog a title and a message like this: mBuilder.setTitle("What's new in V1.0"); mBuilder.setMessage("1- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. \n2- consectetur adipiscing elit. \n3- Vestibulum vulputate fringilla justo. \n4- nec varius magna suscipit ac."); - Now we need to set the custom layout to the alertdialog, otherwise the dialog box will be empty: mBuilder.setView(mView); - We need to declare the android alertdialog positive button to be able to hide the alertdialog - Then we need to handle checkbox status by using CheckBox.setOnCheckedChangeListener - Inside checkbox onCheckedChanged method we will use android sharedpreference to be able to store the checkbox status - Now we can show android alertdialog like this: AlertDialog mDialog = mBuilder.create(); mDialog.show(); - That's it we are done.
