How to use FragmentManager to substitute the deprecated showDialog

Question

I am using the method displayDialog... it works but Eclipse shows me a warning on this:

showDialog(showRetry ? 1 : 0);

Method:

   private void displayDialog(final boolean showRetry) {
                    mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {
                            setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
                            showDialog(showRetry ? 1 : 0);
                        }
                    });
                } 

Searching I have found similar question in which seen that now there is the FragmentManager that can be used to avoid the problem, but I haven't understand how I could use to fix the problem in my specific scenario maintaining retro-compatibility with Froyo and GingerBread.

Could you help me?

Solution 1

Kotlin:

requireActivity().supportFragmentManager

Solution 2

Your activity should subclass FragmentActivity, which can be found in the v4 support library, which you should add to your project. You then can get a reference to the FragmentManager using getSupportFragmentManager() to show a DialogFragment. You'll have to create a DialogFragment class with the layout and the logic that your dialog requires. Here's how you'd show it from your FragmentActivity:

FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
YourDialogFragment yourDialog = new YourDialogFragment();
yourDialog.show(fm, "some_optional_tag");

Here's an overview: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2012/05/using-dialogfragments.html

Solution 3

What google seems to use in this example is to change the "protected Dialog onCreateDialog (int id) {" so that it is called internally always which is called "showDialog (showRetry? 1: 0);" creating default dialog for retry/cancel.

I suggest to use the following code, creating a handy method that creates the standard dialog, and changing or removing the "onCreateDialog()" as this becomes unnecessary.

protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    return CreateDialogRetryCancel(id);
}

public Dialog CreateDialogRetryCancel(int id) {
    final boolean bRetry = id == 1;
    return new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
        .setTitle(R.string.unlicensed_dialog_title)
        .setMessage(bRetry ? R.string.unlicensed_dialog_retry_body : R.string.unlicensed_dialog_body)
        .setPositiveButton(bRetry ? R.string.retry_button : R.string.buy_button, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            boolean mRetry = bRetry;
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                if ( mRetry ) {
                    doCheck();
                } else {
                    Intent marketIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(
                            "http://market.android.com/details?id=" + getPackageName()));
                        startActivity(marketIntent);                        
                }
            }
        })
        .setNegativeButton(R.string.quit_button, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                finish();
            }
        }).create();
}

private void displayDialog(final boolean showRetry) {
    mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
            CreateDialogRetryCancel(showRetry ? 1 : 0).show();
            //showDialog(showRetry ? 1 : 0);
            mCheckLicenseButton.setEnabled(true);
        }
    });
}
