I have an AlertDialog that I want to display at least once to the user and then continuously display the dialog to the user even after the user clicks "ok" until a certain condition is met.
Here's the code structure I have so far for the AlertDialog:
do {
val dialogShow: AlertDialog.Builder = AlertDialog.Builder(this@MainActivity)
dialogShow.setCancelable(false)
dialogShow.setMessage("Message")
.setPositiveButton(
"ok",
object : DialogInterface.OnClickListener {
override fun onClick(dialogInterface: DialogInterface, i: Int) {
if (checkCondition()) {
conditionMet = true
} else {
// Keep looping
}
}
})
.setNegativeButton(
"cancel",
object : DialogInterface.OnClickListener {
override fun onClick(dialogInterface: DialogInterface, i: Int) {
conditionMet = true
return
}
})
dialogShow.show()
} while (conditionMet == false)
The problem now that I am facing is the AlertDialog will display once, but then never again. Even if conditionMet = false it still won't continue to display. How do I keep displaying the same AlertDialog in a loop?
By wrapping the show code in a loop, you're showing it continuously. What you probably want to do it re-show the dialog if it is dismissed. So something like this pseudocode:
fun showObtrusiveDialog() {
...
dialog.setPositiveButton {
if(shouldStillBeObtrusive()) showObtrusiveDialog()
...
}.setNegativeButton {
...
}
dialog.show()
}
