                    String password = txtPassword.getText().toString();

                    // Check if username, password is filled                
                    if(username.trim().length() > 0 && password.trim().length() > 0){
                        // For testing puspose username, password is checked with sample data
                        // username = test
                        // password = test
                        if(username.equals("test") && password.equals("test")){

                            // Creating user login session
                            // For testing i am stroing name, email as follow

                            // Staring MainActivity
                            Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
                            startActivity(i);
                            finish();

                        }else{
                            // username / password doesn't match
                            alert.showAlertDialog(LoginActivity.this, "Login failed..", "Username/Password is incorrect", false);  //also here
                        }               
                    }else{
                        // user didn't entered username or password
                        // Show alert asking him to enter the details
                        alert.showAlertDialog(LoginActivity.this, "Login failed..", "Please enter username and password", false);  //and here
                    }

                }
            });
        }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_login, menu);
        return true;
    }
}

how to resolve this. thnx in advance.

Answer 1

AlertDialogManager is not an Android class. To make a dialog box, you should use AlertDialog.Builder instead. Just have a look at the documentation here.
