AlertDialog inside checkbox in Android Studio - android-studio

Question

I am new to Android Studio. I want to create an AlertDialog, which contains a simple TextView, that appears at every lap of time (e.g. 5 min) inside the checkbox, so if the checkbox is clicked, the AlertDialog appears every 5 min. If it's not clicked, then nothing appears. Help me please.

After a bit of experimentation, I was able to create something similar to what I think you want. This is the small project I created, but you can take just the parts of the code that are needed for your project.
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.CompoundButton;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
TextView input;
long startTime = 0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
final LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
setContentView(ll);
CheckBox cb = new CheckBox(getApplicationContext());
cb.setText("Checkbox");
ll.addView(cb);
cb.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener()
{
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked)
{
if (isChecked)
{
startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
timerHandler.postDelayed(timerRunnable, 0);
}
else
{
timerHandler.removeCallbacks(timerRunnable);
}
}
});
}
public void showDialog()
{
AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
alert.setTitle("Title");
alert.setMessage("Message");
input = new TextView (this);
alert.setView(input);
input.setText("Text");
alert.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton)
{
// do stuff when Ok is clicked
}
});
alert.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton)
{
// do stuff when Cancel is clicked
}
});
alert.show();
}
Handler timerHandler = new Handler();
Runnable timerRunnable = new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
showDialog();
// Edit the second parameter to whatever time you want in milliseconds
timerHandler.postDelayed(this, 300_000);
}
};
#Override
public void onPause()
{
super.onPause();
timerHandler.removeCallbacks(timerRunnable);
}
}
Hopefully, this helps.
