I had added a dialog in the Activity

private static EditText Red;
private static EditText Green;
private static EditText Blue;

protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
extras = getIntent().getExtras();

mImagePSView = new ImageDrawView(this, extras);
setContentView(R.layout.layout1);
}


public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);

menu.add(0, MENU_CREAT, R.string.menu_create);

return true;
}



public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(Menu.Item item) {
switch (item.getId()) {
case MENU_CREAT:
CreateDialog();
return true;
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}



public void CreatePalette()
{
Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.layout2);
dialog.setTitle("Set RGB");

Red = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.red);
Green = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.green);
Blue = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.blue);

Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.palette_ok);
if (button == null)
{
Paledialog.show();
return;
}
button.setOnClickListener(mPaleOkListener);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.palette_cancel);
button.setOnClickListener(mPaleCancelListener);

dialog.show();
}

layout1.xml is a normal layout

layout2.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="70dip"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRight = "@+id/green"
android:layout_alignTop="@id/red"

<Button id="@+id/palette_ok"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/red"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:text="OK" />

<Button id="@+id/palette_cancel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeft="@+id/palette_ok"
android:layout_alignTop="@+id/palette_ok"
android:text="Cancel" />
</RelativeLayout>


Follow the code i can create the dialog and display it
but used Red = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.red);
the findViewById can't find the View, the red is null
the all findViewById are null, i don't know why the view is null
Please help me , thanks

Hi

Let's see. The contentview you set in activity is layout1.xml and the contentview in your dialog is layout2.xml. The buttons are in layout2.xml. I assume CreatePalette is a method of your activity. (Correct me if im wrong) If so, you're using the findViewById method of the activity (and this can't find your buttons in its layout1.xml!). You could try:

However this looks to easy to just work.. Maybe you have to try something like this:


The findViewById method in Dialog class:

public View findViewById(int id)
Finds a view that was identified by the id attribute from the XML that was processed in onStart().

That's why i suggest overriding onStart
Good luck
