Android Question MsgBox Text on Android 6.0

[SjaiuwaSALjw]

Hi!

I have a MsgBox on my application and i have realised that the text isn't showing on Android 6.0 devices, but on other android versions it is.

My SdkVersion is set to 23, and this is the code of the dialog

If gpsClient.GPSEnabled=False Then
    ret = Msgbox2("GPS Disabled. Enable?", "GPS Disabled", "YES", "", "NO", Null)
    Select ret
        Case DialogResponse.POSITIVE
        StartActivity(gpsClient.LocationSettingsIntent)
    End Select
End If

The MsgBox always appears, but on android 6.0 shows an empty MsgBox with the buttons YES and NO.

Why is that?

Thank you,
Gerard

Does this code work properly for you:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Msgbox2("GPS Disabled. Enable?", "GPS Disabled", "YES", "", "NO", Null)
End Sub

This code isn't working for me:

If you use the string collector (ret) sometimes shows the MsgBox empty, and sometimes just goes out the sub.
Without "ret" (Your code, Erel) the app show the MsgBox empty.

It happens with MsgBox and MsgBox2 too.

Please try to reproduce it in a small project and upload it.

I found it.

The problem was that i didn't had defined a theme for the AlertDialog.

So I've made a few changes:

<style name="MyTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light">
    <item name="android:alertDialogTheme">@style/MyAlertDialogTheme</item>
</style>
  
<style name="MyAlertDialogTheme">
    <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@android:style/Animation.Dialog</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">#000000</item>
</style>

EDIT: What happened was that the dialog worked fine, but the text color was white

And MsgBox it's working fine too now that i'm using B4A 6.0. I was using the BETA version before...
