Hi friends,

I am new to Android development......
I wanna to display an alert whenever a user presses a button.
As i wrote showAlert() in

public void onClick(View v)

{
showAlert(" title", "Trial!", "Hello!", false));
}

an error is displayed "this method is undefined for type new View.onClickListener(){}"


Please help me out.....

Thanks in advance

Try calling Allert from the Ativity:

You are actually in an other class when you are in OnClickListener. So calling MyActivity.this will call the function from the current instance of MyAcitivty.

Thanks for quick reply..
but same error is coming when i replaced showAlert with the above text......

I'm gonna try it myself now!

[edit]There is no such thing as showError(). Not in Activity, not in Context.
Oh, I get it, you found it in the Mini-tut?
You should use the AlertDialog.Builder now.

No, it was in a previous version of the SDK.

showAlert() function has been removed from the version 0.9r1 of Android SDK
