How to imitate the layout of Android AlertDialog

Question

The AlertDialog in Android's API provides an easy way to produce nicely looking Dialog with either one, two or three buttons. By "nicely looking", I meant the buttons are laid out nicely of equal width at the bottom and they do not have borders and grey backgrounds as the usual Button object. This is a little bit limited in some situation, in fact, I am in need of 4 buttons.

I want to ask if there is a way to produce the same user interface. Thank you in advance.

create a class extending the alertdialog, then put as many buttons as you want. But im fairly sure that a custom alertdialog has to have it's view inflated with a layout inflator instead of simply using setcontentView

Thanks. I forgot the power of GridLayout which allows us to organize things homogeneously. – An Hoa Oct 14 '12 at 00:35
If having them evenly spaced was the issue, there's no reason you couldn't do it with a relative layout or linear layout utilizing layout weights. – mango Oct 14 '12 at 12:12
