libGDX extension providing cross-platform support for native dialogs
Follow me to receive release updates about this and my other projects (Promise: No BS posts)
https://twitter.com/TomGrillGames and https://www.facebook.com/tomgrillgames
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
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
- ButtonDialog: shows a dialog with 1-3 buttons for the user to click.
- ProgressDialog: Shows dialog with a progress wheel. Not cancelable by the user.
- TextPrompt: On screen display with text input.
Core
Add this to your build.gradle core dependencies
compile "de.tomgrill.gdxdialogs:gdx-dialogs-core:1.3.0"Android
Add this to your build.gradle android dependencies
compile "de.tomgrill.gdxdialogs:gdx-dialogs-android:1.3.0"Copy the /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 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

Enable
GDXDialogs dialogs = GDXDialogsSystem.install();
ButtonDialog
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
GDXProgressDialog progressDialog = dialogs.newDialog(GDXProgressDialog.class);
progressDialog.setTitle("Download");
progressDialog.setMessage("Loading new level from server...");
progressDialog.build().show();TextPrompt
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:
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.
}
});
}
});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.
- Create a interface like this (in core project): GDXButtonDialog
- Create the implementation for Android like this (in android project): AndroidGDXButtonDialog
- Create the implementation for Desktop like this (in desktop project): DesktopGDXButtonDialog
- Create the implementation for iOS like this (in ios project): IOSGDXButtonDialog
- Create a fallback implementation with empty methods (in core project): FallbackGDXButtonDialog
If your dialog is written register it like this:
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:
dialogs.newDialog(GDXButtonDialog.class); // Use your dialog interface hereNote: 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.
