Hello folks!

Though it seems to be quite a basic thing I could not find a solution by searching the internet. I simply like to detect and use the choice the user made after the view/discard/cancel button appears, e.g. to initialize some actions after the user clicked on "save". How can I request the result of the choosen button?

I tried to use the DialogClosedListener interface with its dialogClosed method but it it didn't work. I tried it like this:

public class SampleScreen extends DialogClosedListener{

...

// screen fields
...

 public void  dialogClosed(Dialog dialog, int choice){

    if (choice ==  Dialog.DISCARD){
      System.out.println("discard");
    }
    else if(choice ==  Dialog.CANCEL){
      System.out.println("cancel");
    }
    else if(choice ==  Dialog.SAVE){
      System.out.println("save");
    }
    
    if (dialog.getSelectedValue() ==  Dialog.DISCARD){
      System.out.println("discard");
    }
    else if(dialog.getSelectedValue() ==  Dialog.CANCEL){
      System.out.println("cancel");
    }
    else if(dialog.getSelectedValue() ==  Dialog.SAVE){
      System.out.println("save");
    }
 }


}

Thanks for any suggestions!

Object[] choices = new Object[] {"cancel", "exit", "to background" };
int result = Dialog.ask("really quit?", choices, 1);
switch (result) {
case 1:
System.exit(0);
case 2:
UiApplication.getApplication().requestBackground();
}

Hi Simon,

thanks for your answer. Actually I meant the standard dialog appearing after changes had been made in a screen and the user wants to leave the screen. Then the dialog "chages made" is displayed with the buttons "SAVE", "DISCARD" and "CANCEL". So I'd like to request the result of the choice the user made and use this data for doing something else. Any idea how to refer to that button pressed? On default it closes the screen when choosing "SAVE" or "DISCARD" and otherwise it stays in the screen.

I found a solution, by overwriting the onSavePrompt method. Just replace it by your own dialog and handle the actions you wish to be done depending on the choice.

An actual way to do it would be to provide your own implementation for the whole thing.

//Create a class that implement the DialogClosedListener Interface
static final class myDialogListener implements DialogClosedListener {
public void dialogClosed(Dialog dialog, int choice){
switch (choice) {
case Dialog.DELETE : Status.show("Delete msg"); break;
case Dialog.OK : Status.show("OK msg"); break;
case Dialog.CANCEL : Status.show("Cancel msg"); break;
}
}
}


then, in your code where instanciating your custom dialog:

// Instanciation of custom Dialog
myDialog aDialog = new myDialog("Custom Dialog", tab1, tab2, 1, Bitmap.getPredefinedBitmap(Bitmap.QUESTION), Manager.FOCUSABLE);
aDialog.setDialogClosedListener(new myDialogListener());
aDialog.show();

these all sound a far too complicated... just override the mainscreens method for save, i'll add a code snippet tomorrow if i remember, by default selecting cancel pops the dialog and discard calls close on the main screen and pops both your screen and the dialog. all you need to do is override the save method.

simple.

Hi,

You don't have to implement any DialogClosed Listener ,just
override the onSavePrompt() method whose signiture is as follows,


public boolean onSavePrompt()
{
/*
synchronised(_data)
{
_data.setContents(appData)
_data.commit();
}*/
Dialog.inform("Default save appeared");
}
