Android: Simple customization of AlertDialogs (June, 2014)

Question

I am bumping this thread: Android: Simple customization of AlertDialogs

I have the exactly same question. Sadly there is no satisfying answer to be found in this thread. However a few years have passed, probably there is now a more effective way, to solve this problem.

I hope someone can help.

If you want to customize your dialog read about Dialog Fragments and create your own fully customized layout for dialogs

Take a look of this answer in this question

From question:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context)
        .setTitle("My title")
        .setMessage("Enter password");
final FrameLayout frameView = new FrameLayout(context);
builder.setView(frameView);

final AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
LayoutInflater inflater = alertDialog.getLayoutInflater();
View dialoglayout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.simple_password, frameView);
alertDialog.show();

Custom dialog view:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:orientation="vertical"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent">

<EditText
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/password_edit_view"
    android:inputType="textPassword"/>
<CheckBox
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/show_password"
    android:id="@+id/show_password_checkbox"
    android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical"
    android:checked="false"/>

</LinearLayout>

Sorry for the late reply. Actually i am searching a way to solve the problem via themes.xml and styles.xml, not with a custom dialog view — quiK, Jun 24 '14 at 08:32

I had this same issue when I was creating my app! I needed a custom built dialog to suit my needs. The answer was really quite simple! I just created a regular XML file that I wanted to be my dialog, then in java registered a new Dialog, Dialog diagog=new Dialog(R.id.customdialog), and then when I wanted it to appear simply said, diagog.show()! I hope this helps you because it worked awesome for me.
