Popup Window in Android NetRexx

[hhenault]

Hello, everybody.

I'm new in this forum, but I've been using NetRexx for almost 10 years, in traditional JVM.

Since I got an Android phone,  I'm porting my personnal NetRexx stuff to Android.

Almost done, except one thing :

I want a pop up window with some text inside.

The popup window is triggered via a menu button.
(the user hit Android menu key, then press a 'help' button inside the menu)

So I wrote something like :
       ...
   method onOptionsItemSelected(item = MenuItem) returns boolean
       s = item.getItemId()
       select
          ...        
          when s = HELP_Item then  do
             -- do what ?????
             -- I want to display a popup window
             --       from file res/layout/helpfile.xml
             --       with layout_id = R.id.helpfile
             --       containing only a TextView with id = R.id.helptxt
             -- I know I will do somewhere a findViewById(R.id.helpfile), and a findViewById(R.id.helptxt)
             -- Ok, but then what ???
          end    
          ...
       end
       ...

Any netrexx Android Guru to give a solution ?

Edit : The complete project, + snapshots,  is hosted at http://www.hhns.fr/netrexx/demo5.zip

Finally, found it :

   method do_hlp

         d  = Dialog(this)

         d.setContentView(R.layout.helpfile)
         d.setTitle("No sea sick ? Ok, then :")
         d.setCancelable(1)
         d.show()

         return

Hello Henri Henault (when my small Brain does serve me right):

Still alive?
Has your conversion using Rexx2Nrx to convert your classic Rexx Programs
to NetRexx been successful?

You didn't reply on my last mails to you personally (years ago!) :-(

Hi thomas

I've been 'out of order' (serious health problems) during monthes.

Now, I'm again on the way,

I got my first 'real' Android Phone (Galaxy Note: half phone, half tablet) two weeks ago.

I prepare myself to dive deeply in  those dark waters, Java + Android + NetRexx.

You can grab my first  NetRexx/android application from the post #1: it may serve as a good example for beginners.

Now that I (more or less) understand the Android mechanic, I will work on a project which consist to build automaticaly the layout xml files, which are a punishment for guys like myself, who had been working for years on 3270 terminals, so simple ...

Happy to get again in touch with you

Regards

Henri

P.S. : by the way, I always get the mention 'your post has not been accepted ...'
What's the normal procedure ?

Good to hear that you did SURVIVE! :-)

You should directly Contact Kermit Kiser (*or* he might contact you, cc
me, please....).

He is (as I think) the THINK-TANK for ANDROID applications *written in
NetRexx* :-)

Henri, I personally do also think you should SUBSCRIBE Project NetRexx
on www.kenai.com
as a follower...

You might also want to look at my projects DB-123, PP, and LOGOS on
www.kenai.com

maybe your sons might be interested to help me to market those in France?

Thomas Schneider.
