Apps Can't check the value of an EditText in an AlertDialog

[vovs]

Hi, folks!

I'm trying to check the value of the EditText inside my AlertDialog, so that I can prevent the user from entering nothing in the EditText.
For some reason, when I use the code below and press ok I return to List, but i want after "Name required" dialog leave in "Rename Contact" dialog.

case Constants.RENAME_CONTACT:
 AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
    		.setTitle("Rename Contact")
			.setMessage("Rename Contact:")
			.setView(renameInput)
			.setPositiveButton("Save", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {							
				@Override
				public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
					if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(renameInput.getText())){
						contactToRename.setName(renameInput.getText().toString());
						fp.update(contactToRename);
						refreshList(contactFilter.getText().toString(), sortAsc);
					}
					else{
						new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
						.setTitle("Name required")
						.setMessage("Name field must be completed.")
						.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {							
							@Override
							public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
								
							}
						}).show();			
				}						
				}
			})
			.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
				@Override
				public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
					// 	do nothing

I'm pretty sure you can't open another alert dialog without closing the first one ...

why don't you try using the .setError on your edittext ?
