Can calabash-android handle alert dialog?

[Tam]

 If so, can you show me an example? 

Thanks

It can.

What do you want to do with the dialog?

I don't think it can if its a system alert dialog. Such as... It can only handle alert dialogs created by your app.

When user input wrong login info, the alert dialog box pops up, 

I wanna be able to verify that :

 The alert dialog pops up, 

Verify the correct message display in the dialog box 

On click on the OK button in the alert dialog, the dialog goes away. 

Thanks!

You can just do 

Then I wait to see "correct message"

Then I press "OK"

[Tam]

Thanks David. 

I tried it, it didn't work though. It just hang in there, waiting for the expected message to display.

I'm not sure I understand what kind of alert dialogs you mean.

Are we talking about android.app.AlertDialog?

[Tam]

Yes, it is android.app.AlertDialog .

Then it should just work.

However, if I remember correctly the alert dialog splits the text into separate lines.

If you see:

Hello

World

You have to assert for "Hello\nWorld".

This is just a weak memory so I'm not 100% sure about it.

Follow up. It works. There was something else wrong in my script. 

And I wait to see "xyz" , only works when pass first line of the message,  adding "\n" doesn't help retrieve second line of the message. But if you use "I should see 'abcdef....", it will retrieve all the messages even if the message display in multiple lines. 

Thanks
