POClickable Hyperlinks in DialogFragment
text
Body
copied!<p>This is my static inner class for creating an AlertDialog inside my MainActivity class:</p> <pre><code>public static class AboutDialogFragment extends DialogFragment { public static AboutDialogFragment newInstance() { AboutDialogFragment frag = new AboutDialogFragment(); return frag; } @Override public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) { return new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity()) .setIcon(R.drawable.ic_dialog_about) .setTitle(R.string.about) .setMessage(R.string.about_message) .......... .create(); } } </code></pre> <p>And I'm showing it when you press a menu item which is inside MainActivity:</p> <pre><code>case R.id.about: DialogFragment aboutFragment = AboutDialogFragment.newInstance(); aboutFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "about_dialog"); // Make links clickable ((TextView) aboutFragment.getDialog().findViewById(android.R.id.message)).setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance()); return true; </code></pre> <p>I'm trying to make the links in the message text clickable using the commented line.</p> <p>I found this method <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1997328/android-clickable-hyperlinks-in-alertdialog">here</a> and it has worked for me when using a regular Dialog (no fragments).<br /> However, this is the first time I have tried using it on a DialogFragment and I always get a NullPointerException when trying to find the view.</p> <p>I've also tried <code>aboutFragment.getView().findViewById(android.R.id.message)</code> but that returns null as well.</p> <p>Maybe I am calling the code too early/in the wrong place?<br /> Any ideas would be great!</p> <p>EDIT: Just tried <code>((TextView) v.getRootView().findViewById(android.R.id.message)).setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());</code> and <code>((TextView) v.findViewById(android.R.id.message)).setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());</code> in onCreateView() and also tried in onCreateDialog() without success.<br /> Still getting null pointer exception...</p>
