Question

Answer 1

You could create an activity that is themed as a Dialog

<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">

and then call that activity with startActivityForResult(...) as described here.

Answer 2

In the onClick listener you will be passed the current Dialog as one of the method arguments.

So you can do something like ((TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.passwordField)).getText().toString() in the onClick method.

Answer 3

Have a look at this discussion AlertDialog Input Text ..

All you need is to call an Intent when appropriate button(positive or negative) is pressed.

See here :

Intent intent=new Intent(context,AnotherActivity.class);
 EditText mUserText;
 mUserText = (EditText) textEntryView.findViewById(R.id.txt_password);
 String strpwd = mUserText.getText().toString();

 intent.putExtra("my_password",strpwd);
 startActivity(intent);
