AlertDialog Error String resource ID #0x1

Question

I am building an app which after you input some parameter(P1,P2,P3) and click save, will pop an AlertDialog requesting a number, after the user key in this number, the program will input the information (P1,P2,P3) in a SQLite register table T1. And it will create as many entries as the user define in the AlertDialog in a SQLite T2.

Basically I have the next code:

 switch(item.getItemId()){
        case R.id.Save:

            final String UpdateStudyCode = eStudyCode.getText().toString();
            final String UpdateStudyDescription = eStudyDescription.getText().toString();
            final String UpdateStudyAnalyst = eStudyAnalyst.getText().toString();

            if( l == 0){
            //New Register Study
                if (UpdateStudyCode == ""){
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Empty Study Code", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
                else{                       
                    AlertDialog.Builder dialogCreateElements = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

                    dialogCreateElements.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert);
                    dialogCreateElements.setTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.element_create_title));
                    dialogCreateElements.setMessage(getResources().getString(R.string.element_create_messaje));
                    final EditText inputelementstarget = new EditText(this);
                    //dialogCreateElements.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE);
                    //dialogCreateElements.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_12KEY);
                    dialogCreateElements.setView(inputelementstarget);
                    dialogCreateElements.setCancelable(false);
                    dialogCreateElements.setPositiveButton(getResources().getString(android.R.string.ok), new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {   
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                            database db = new database (studydetail.this);
                            db.open();
                            //Create Study
                            long studyid;
                            studyid = db.createEntryStudy(UpdateStudyCode,UpdateStudyDescription,UpdateStudyAnalyst);
                            //Create number of specific elements 
                            int element=1;
                            String value = inputelementstarget.getText().toString();
                            int target = Integer.parseInt(value);
                            do
                            {
                                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), element, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                                db.createEntryElements(element, studyid);
                                element++;
                            }
                            while (element < target+1);

                            db.close();

                            Toast.makeText(studydetail.this, R.string.element_create_confirmation, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            setResult(RESULT_OK);

                        }
                    });

                  dialogCreateElements.setNegativeButton(android.R.string.no, null);
                  dialogCreateElements.show();

Currently I receive the next error and only the entry in T1 is created FATAL EXCEPTION:

To give you info, the error is at this line,

 String value = inputelementstarget.getText().toString();

I didn't find where you actually initialized this inputelementstarget. Actually this is not an initialization you needed

final EditText inputelementstarget = new EditText(this);

And I think you are trying to add EditText in AlertDialog.

For that purpose what you have to do is

Create a layout with EditText in it.
Inflate that like this

LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(context); View promptsView = li.inflate(R.layout.prompts, null);
Then After you have to initialize that

final EditText userInput = (EditText) promptsView .findViewById(R.id.editTextDialogUserInput);

For A Complete reference have a look here. See this answer. You will get a lot of information.

You need to do this way:

Toast message must be in String form.

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), element, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

element must be String, currently it is Integer.

Toast.makeText(studydetail.this, R.string.element_create_confirmation, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

to

Toast.makeText(studydetail.this, getString(R.string.element_create_confirmation), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Hope this will help you.

The error is occurring when you want to show element value in:

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), element, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

If you want to show element variable value, just use String.valueOf(element) instead, like this:

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), String.valueOf(element) , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

And you'll get the desired result.

Hope this helps!!
