Its clearly easy to do, because some many apps do it, but I can't see how. I want to display a very simple dialog, with a Title and Content (eother TextView or perhaps a WebView).
But I want to style the dialog so that the background of the Title, Content and the dialog window itself are something other than grey. I've tried constructing a Dialog and setting the ContentView and Title, but the title always has the grey background. I've tried using an AlterDialog#Builder, but if I specify the title string using #setTilte then I have no control over the background. ie same as for new Dialog above. I also get the grey background of the dialog window bleeding through above and below the title and content. I have tried setting a theme for the application that sets the dialog styles using <item name="android:alertDialogStyle">@style/ myAlertDialogStyle</item> But that doesn't seem to have any effect. Buut then again the doco that I have found is extremely vague on details, so I probably messed it up. If you can point me to some clean and coherent doco I'd be obliged. The closest I have come is to construct using AlterDialog#Builder and use both #setContentView and #setCustomTitle as I can style eahc of those views, but I still have the grey dialog background bleeding through.above and below the title and content. Unless someone can point me in the right direction, the only option I can see is to ditch the Dialog altogether and just create an Activity that displays the info I want with the styling I want. This is trivial, but it feels SO wrong. If you can't easily style, what's the point of the dialogs at all? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
