Action list dialogs are pop-up windows that allow users to choose from a list of predetermined actions.
To create an action list dialog, as with all dialogs, you'll need to create and pass in a WindowBasedTextGUI:
// Setup terminal and screen layers
Terminal terminal = new DefaultTerminalFactory().createTerminal();
Screen screen = new TerminalScreen(terminal);
screen.startScreen();
// Setup WindowBasedTextGUI for dialogs
final WindowBasedTextGUI textGUI = new MultiWindowTextGUI(screen);
In the following example, an action list dialog box is shown to the user when the button is clicked. When a user activates an action in the list, the corresponding thread is ran.
new ActionListDialogBuilder()
.setTitle("Action List Dialog")
.setDescription("Choose an item")
.addAction("First Item", new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// Do 1st thing...
}
})
.addAction("Second Item", new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// Do 2nd thing...
}
})
.addAction("Third Item", new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// Do 3rd thing...
}
})
.build()
.showDialog(textGUI);
