The main looper is special, just because you have _a_ looper in _a_ thread doesn't mean it will now handle all UI interaction. I'd suggest (the list is clearly out of sequence): 1. Fix the crashes so they don't happen anymore (at least not so much). 2. In your crash handler, forget about touchin

HierarchyViewer says that the border is being drawn by the AlertDialog code itself. ie, it's coming from an object called "FrameLayout, with ID = id/customPanel". So, to solve this is it necessary to extend AlertDialog? Or is that overkill? On Apr 3, 12:12 pm, Dianne Hackborn wrote: > Use hiera

Taking a step back here. I think if I solve the Dialog itself, the Window background drawable may not be an issue. Saying that because once I created the 9-patch with correct transparency and Content and Patch settings, it looks as it should. So, trying to get the dialog layout (view) right first

The window will be resized to wrap its content. Be sure in your 9-patch that you have correctly indicated the content area along the right and bottom edges. If that isn't the problem, you can use hierarchyviewer to see what is going on with the layout of the view hierarchy if your window. You do
