Hey guys,

I'm using Android 1.5 (Motorola i1 ptt dosent support over 1.5 so cant upgrade). I'm also new to java(VB, PHP for years). I'm having some trouble trying to grasp a simple input dialog box that would save the input as a variable.

for instence... in vbscript i would type

bob=inputbox("title", random question")

when ran, a messgae box would pop up and whatever the user typed in would be stored in the variable bob.

I would then run a random function using that variable
ex: GotoAddy "http://www.ebay.com/lookup.asp?item=" + bob

what would be the simplest way to do this in eclipse/java?

Thanks in advance,

Adam

I'm not the best android programmer considering I'm very new but if you don't want to have it pop up then all you need to do is make an EditText view. And then add a button on the screen and when you press then button say myVariable = editTextId.getText(); Of course you need to set the editText id up and stuff. Tutorials on that are easy to come by.
