Question

I want to use multi choice spinner in mono for android.
I want to bind the countries to the spinner
Now in the normal spinner there is label with radio button.
But I want the label with the Checkbox.
can any one please help me.
AlertDialog.Builder alt_bld = new AlertDialog.Builder(
CareCardActivity.this);
alt_bld.setTitle("Select Recepients");
alt_bld.setMultiChoiceItems(tempname, new boolean[tempname.length] , new DialogInterface.OnMultiChoiceClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which,
boolean isChecked) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
});
alt_bld.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
ListView list = ((AlertDialog) dialog).getListView();
Log.v("LIST COUNT:: ", ""+list.getCount());
for (int i = 0; i < list.getCount(); i++) {
boolean checked = list.isItemChecked(i);
if (checked) {
sb.append(contactNumber[i]).append(";");
}
}
sb = sb.replace(
sb.length() - 1,
sb.length(), "");
txtPhoneNo.setText(sb.toString());
}
});
alt_bld.setNegativeButton("Cancel",
new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

}
});
AlertDialog alert = alt_bld.create();
alert.show();

Answer 1

call this function on click of button
ShowDialog(DIALOG_MULTIPLE_CHOICE);
Add Following Code
protected override Dialog OnCreateDialog(int id)
{
switch (id) {
case DATE_DIALOG_ID:
return new DatePickerDialog(this, OnDateSet, date.Year, date.Month - 1, date.Day);
case DIALOG_MULTIPLE_CHOICE: {
var builder = new AlertDialog.Builder (this);
// builder.SetIcon (Resource.Drawable.ic_popup_reminder);
builder.SetTitle ("Select Country");
builder.SetMultiChoiceItems (countryName, new bool[countryName.Length], MultiListClicked);
builder.SetPositiveButton ("ok", OkClicked);
builder.SetNegativeButton ("Cancel", CancelClicked);
return builder.Create ();
}
}
return null;
}
private void MultiListClicked (object sender, DialogMultiChoiceClickEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine ("countryMultiListClicked");
if (e.IsChecked) {
mSelectedItems.Add (countryName [(int)e.Which]);
mSelectedItemsID.Add (countryID [(int)e.Which]);
}
else if (mSelectedItems.Contains(countryName [(int)e.Which]))
{
mSelectedItems.Remove(countryName [(int)e.Which]);
mSelectedItemsID.Remove(countryID [(int)e.Which]);
}
}
private void OkClicked (object sender, DialogClickEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine ("countryOkClicked");
String listString = "";
for (int i =0; i<mSelectedItems.Count; i++) {
listString += mSelectedItems [i] + ",";
}
if (listString.Length > 0) {
listString = listString.Remove (listString.Length - 1);
}
et_country.Text = listString;
listStringId = "";
for (int i =0; i<mSelectedItemsID.Count; i++) {
listStringId += mSelectedItemsID [i] + ",";
}
if (listStringId.Length > 0) {
listStringId = listStringId.Remove (listStringId.Length - 1);
}
Console.WriteLine (listStringId);
}
private void CancelClicked (object sender, DialogClickEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("countryCancelClicked");
}
This works fine ........!
