Add custom image to Dialog

Question

What I was trying to do is an app that read QR-CODES (referred to images) and just after the reading, showing a Dialog with the image related to the QR-CODE and the description taken by a database.

Any advice on how to do that?

What I could find on the Internet was just how to create Dialog with custom layout. Nothing more.

What are you looking for, how to make custom dialog.. is that your question — CRUSADER, May 09 '13 at 11:29

I assume you need t o display a Image in a custom dialog

Define dialog.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />

</RelativeLayout>

In your activity on button click display a dialog

 Button b= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
    {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            showpopup();        
        }

    });

   public void showpopup()
   {
   Dialog d = new Dialog(MainActivity.this);
   d.setContentView( R.layout.dialog);
   d.setTitle("my title");
   ImageView iv = (ImageView) d.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
   iv.setImageResource(R.drawable.afor); 
   // set your image here. I have used a resource from the drawable folder
   d.show();
   }

enter image description here

Yes sorry it was a missclick. You got it! Thanks so much – Stefano Munarini May 09 '13 at 12:01
I guess it would have look better if the image was A for android :P – Muhammad Babar May 09 '13 at 12:09
Can you help me more please? I noticed that doing that, it does just let me select R.drawable.afor . But i have to choose everytime a different image, not always "afor" – Stefano Munarini May 09 '13 at 12:34
you can once you get the image you can set the bitmap to the iv.setImageBitmap(bm) – Raghunandan May 09 '13 at 12:35

you can use setContentView() n just pass ImageView as parameter to it.

For custom Dialog you have to just create one layout and set that layout in dialog.

e.g

dialog.setContentView(R.layout.customdialog);

See this example,Click Here.
