Treehouse Moderator 91,253 Points[SOLVED] Alert Dialogs not working
Using Android Studio 3.1.2, I've set up my alert dialog but it's not showing up.
package uk.co.jonniegrieve.stormy;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import java.io.IOException;
import okhttp3.Call;
import okhttp3.Callback;
import okhttp3.OkHttpClient;
import okhttp3.Request;
import okhttp3.Response;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
String apiKey = "c967557031449620255ff3c64b443a26";
double latitude = 99999; //37.8267;
double longitude = -122.4233;
String forecastURL = "https://api.darksky.net/forecast/"
+ apiKey + "/" + latitude + "," + longitude;
//The request
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url(forecastURL)
.build();
Call call = client.newCall(request);
call.enqueue(new Callback() {
@Override
public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
}
@Override
public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) throws IOException {
try {
Log.v(TAG, response.body().string());
if(response.isSuccessful()) {
}
} catch (IOException e) {
alertUserAboutError();
}
}
});
Log.d(TAG, "Main UI code is running! Hooray");
}
private void alertUserAboutError() {
AlertDialogFragment dialog = new AlertDialogFragment();
dialog.show(getFragmentManager(), "error_dialog");
}
}
package uk.co.jonniegrieve.stormy;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.app.DialogFragment;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class AlertDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
@Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
Context context = getActivity();
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
//alert dialog box
builder.setTitle(R.string.error_title)
.setMessage(R.string.error_message)
.setPositiveButton( R.string.error_btn_ok_txt, null);
return builder.create();
}
}
I don't understand why the dialogs are not showing up?

I didn't/couldn't see this before but it turns out I wasn't properly handling the exception. I tried to handle it by calling the function which shows the dialog box which wouldn't work.
Simply move the function call inside the else block and properly handle the exception.
public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) throws IOException {
try {
Log.v(TAG, response.body().string());
if(response.isSuccessful()) {
} else {
alertUserAboutError();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "IO Exception Occured!");
}
}
});
