I will also stream sometimes when developing at https://www.twitch.tv/tomgrill and write a blog article from time to time at http://tomgrill.de 

## Version

Current stable: **1.3.0**

(Snapshot versions are no longer provided)

##Supported Platforms

Android, iOS, iOS-MOE, Desktop (kinda)

Desktop show Java UI Dialogs which usually dont fit very well in desktop game. I added Desktop support mainly to make testing while developing easier.

##Requirements

libGDX 1.9.3+, Android API 9+, ios 6+, ios-moe 9+

##Currently available dialog types

1. ButtonDialog: shows a dialog with 1-3 buttons for the user to click.

2. ProgressDialog: Shows dialog with a progress wheel. Not cancelable by the user.

3. TextPrompt: On screen display with text input.

## Installation

**Core**

Add this to your build.gradle core dependencies

```gradle

compile "de.tomgrill.gdxdialogs:gdx-dialogs-core:1.3.0"

```

**Android**

Add this to your build.gradle android dependencies

```gradle

compile "de.tomgrill.gdxdialogs:gdx-dialogs-android:1.3.0"

```

Copy the [/gdx-dialogs-android/res](/gdx-dialogs-android/res) folder from this project to your android project. Keep the directory structure.

You can edit the [/gdx-dialogs-android/res/values-v11/styles.xml](/gdx-dialogs-android/res/values-v11/styles.xml) if you want use another theme like Holo.Light

If your project already has styles.xml file make sure you merge what you need from both files.

**iOS**

Add this to your robovm.xml

```xml

    ....

    de.tomgrill.gdxdialogs.ios.IOSGDXDialogs

```

Add this to your build.gradle ios dependencies

```gradle

compile "de.tomgrill.gdxdialogs:gdx-dialogs-ios:1.3.0"

```

**iOS-MOE**

Add this to your build.gradle ios-moe dependencies

```gradle

compile "de.tomgrill.gdxdialogs:gdx-dialogs-ios-moe:1.3.0"

```

**Desktop**

Add this to your build.gradle desktop dependencies

```gradle

compile "de.tomgrill.gdxdialogs:gdx-dialogs-desktop:1.3.0"

```

**HTML(GWT)**

Add this to your build.gradle html dependencies

```gradle

compile "de.tomgrill.gdxdialogs:gdx-dialogs-html:1.3.0"

compile "de.tomgrill.gdxdialogs:gdx-dialogs-core:1.3.0:sources"

compile "de.tomgrill.gdxdialogs:gdx-dialogs-html:1.3.0:sources"

```

Add this to your GdxDefinition.gwt.xml

```xml

```

## Usage

**View the gdx-dialogs sample app**

https://github.com/TomGrill/gdx-dialogs-app

**Enable**

```

GDXDialogs dialogs = GDXDialogsSystem.install();

```

**ButtonDialog**

```java

GDXButtonDialog bDialog = dialogs.newDialog(GDXButtonDialog.class);

bDialog.setTitle("Buy a item");

bDialog.setMessage("Do you want to buy the mozarella?");

bDialog.setClickListener(new ButtonClickListener() {

	@Override

	public void click(int button) {

		// handle button click here

	}

});

bDialog.addButton("No");

bDialog.addButton("Never");

bDialog.addButton("Yes, nomnom!");

bDialog.build().show();

```

**ProgressDialog**

```java

GDXProgressDialog progressDialog = dialogs.newDialog(GDXProgressDialog.class);

progressDialog.setTitle("Download");

progressDialog.setMessage("Loading new level from server...");

progressDialog.build().show();

```

**TextPrompt**

```java

GDXTextPrompt textPrompt = dialogs.newDialog(GDXTextPrompt.class);

textPrompt.setTitle("Your name");

textPrompt.setMessage("Please tell me your name.");

textPrompt.setCancelButtonLabel("Cancel");

textPrompt.setConfirmButtonLabel("Save name");

textPrompt.setTextPromptListener(new TextPromptListener() {

	@Override

	public void confirm(String text) {

	  // do something with the user input

	}

	@Override

	public void cancel() {

	  // handle input cancel

	}

});

textPrompt.build().show();

```

**Open GL Context**

Sometimes you want to call a method within one of your listeners which requires OpenGL context from the libgdx main thread. Since all dialogs run in their own thread (without OpenGL context) you have to make sure your method runs in the main thread by wrapping as postRunnable:

```java

dialog.setClickListener(new ButtonClickListener() {

    @Override

    public void click(int button) {

        Gdx.app.postRunnable(new Runnable() {

            @Override

            public void run() {

                // call the a method which requires OpenGL context.

            }

        });

    }

});

```

## Create your own dialogs.

In case you require are certain dialog (F.e. DatePicker, ProgressBar, ....) which is not supported by gdx-dialogs yet you can write your own dialog.

1. Create a interface like this (in core project): [GDXButtonDialog](gdx-dialogs-core/src/de/tomgrill/gdxdialogs/core/dialogs/GDXButtonDialog.java)

2. Create the implementation for Android like this (in android project): [AndroidGDXButtonDialog](gdx-dialogs-android/src/de/tomgrill/gdxdialogs/android/dialogs/AndroidGDXButtonDialog.java)

3. Create the implementation for Desktop like this (in desktop project): [DesktopGDXButtonDialog](gdx-dialogs-desktop/src/de/tomgrill/gdxdialogs/desktop/dialogs/DesktopGDXButtonDialog.java)

4. Create the implementation for iOS like this (in ios project): [IOSGDXButtonDialog](gdx-dialogs-ios/src/de/tomgrill/gdxdialogs/ios/dialogs/IOSGDXButtonDialog.java)

5. Create a fallback implementation with empty methods (in core project): [FallbackGDXButtonDialog](gdx-dialogs-core/src/de/tomgrill/gdxdialogs/core/dialogs/FallbackGDXButtonDialog.java)

If your dialog is written register it like this:

```java

if(Gdx.app.getType() == ApplicationType.Android) {

	dialogs.registerDialog("package.for.your.dialog.interface.GDXButtonDialog", "package.for.your.dialog.os.specific.implementation.AndroidGDXButtonDialog");

}

else if(Gdx.app.getType() == ApplicationType.Desktop) {

	dialogs.registerDialog("package.for.your.dialog.interface.GDXButtonDialog", "package.for.your.dialog.os.specific.implementation.DesktopGDXButtonDialog");

}

else if(Gdx.app.getType() == ApplicationType.iOS) {

	dialogs.registerDialog("package.for.your.dialog.interface.GDXButtonDialog", "package.for.your.dialog.os.specific.implementation.IOSGDXButtonDialog");

}

else {

	dialogs.registerDialog("package.for.your.dialog.interface.GDXButtonDialog", "package.for.your.dialog.os.specific.implementation.FallbackGDXButtonDialog");

}

```

Use your own dialog:

```java

dialogs.newDialog(GDXButtonDialog.class); // Use your dialog interface here

```

**Note:** Every platform specific implementation must have constructor even if it is empty. Android implementations must have a contructor accepting Activity parameter.

**Increase your karma points :) Share your dialog with us, add it to this repository and make a Pull Request.**
