InputDialog(String initialValue, String instruction, String restriction, String result);

Description

The InputDialog activity opens a dialog box that requests the user's input. If necessary, an initial value can be passed to the dialog that appears first in the input field. Also, an input constraint can be passed to the dialog.

InputDialog can handle only simple strings.
