How do I make a Radio button display a really long label inside an AlertDialog?

String[] labels = new String[]{"My Super Long Label That Will Result in an ellipses Garbage 1234567890"};

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

builder.setSingleChoiceItems(labels, 0 , new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {...});

AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();

When I run the above code, it gets cut off rather than displaying it across multiple lines.

  • set the view of the dialog to a custom view rather than using the default one generated for you. `builder.setView(myViewWithRadioButtons)`. perhaps your custom view will allow wrapping of text for radiobuttons – james Sep 10 '12 at 21:15

single choice list item text can have maximum two lines of text. can't find any sence what's the point behind this limit . i guess to use your own adapter and pass it to public AlertDialog.Builder setSingleChoiceItems (ListAdapter adapter, int checkedItem, DialogInterface.OnClickListener listener) will be the only way.

ridiculous.

Had the same problem. This is same with this solution, but instead of android:textSize here we need android:inputType

<style name="AlertDialogTheme" parent="android:Theme.Dialog">
    <item name="android:inputType">textMultiLine</item>
</style>

Then use this:

ContextThemeWrapper cw = new ContextThemeWrapper( this, R.style.AlertDialogTheme );
AlertDialog.Builder b = new AlertDialog.Builder( cw );
