To start activity as dialog I defined it like this in AndroidManifest.xml: <activity android:theme=”@android:style/Theme.Dialog” /> Use this property inside your activity tag to avoid that your Dialog appears in the recently used apps list android:excludeFromRecents=”true” If you want to stop your dialog / activity from being destroyed when the user clicks outside of the dialog: … Read more
Add this code dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT)); Or this one instead: dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(android.R.color.transparent);
In Android 2.0+ this would look like: @Override public void onBackPressed() { new AlertDialog.Builder(this) .setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert) .setTitle(“Closing Activity”) .setMessage(“Are you sure you want to close this activity?”) .setPositiveButton(“Yes”, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) { finish(); } }) .setNegativeButton(“No”, null) .show(); } In earlier versions it would look like: @Override public boolean … Read more
Instead of : Context appContext = this.getApplicationContext(); you should use a pointer to the activity you’re in (probably this). I got bitten by this today too, the annoying part is the getApplicationContext() is verbatim from developer.android.com 🙁
Here I have created a simple Dialog, like: custom_dialog.xml <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” android:layout_width=”fill_parent” android:layout_height=”80dp” android:background=”#3E80B4″ android:orientation=”vertical” > <TextView android:id=”@+id/txt_dia” android:layout_width=”wrap_content” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:layout_gravity=”center” android:layout_margin=”10dp” android:text=”Do you realy want to exit ?” android:textColor=”@android:color/white” android:textSize=”15dp” android:textStyle=”bold”/> <LinearLayout android:layout_width=”wrap_content” android:layout_height=”wrap_content” android:layout_gravity=”center” android:background=”#3E80B4″ android:orientation=”horizontal” > <Button android:id=”@+id/btn_yes” android:layout_width=”100dp” android:layout_height=”30dp” android:background=”@android:color/white” android:clickable=”true” android:text=”Yes” android:textColor=”#5DBCD2″ android:textStyle=”bold” /> <Button android:id=”@+id/btn_no” android:layout_width=”100dp” … Read more
Edit: Google engineers do not recommend this approach, as described by Dianne Hackborn (a.k.a. hackbod) in this StackOverflow post. Check out this blog post for more information. You have to add this to the activity declaration in the manifest: android:configChanges=”orientation|screenSize” so it looks like <activity android:label=”@string/app_name” android:configChanges=”orientation|screenSize|keyboardHidden” android:name=”.your.package”> The matter is that the system destroys … Read more
EDIT: This only works on API 8+ as noted by some of the comments. This is a late answer, but you can add an onShowListener to the AlertDialog where you can then override the onClickListener of the button. final AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(context) .setView(v) .setTitle(R.string.my_title) .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, null) //Set to null. We override the onclick … Read more
You could use an AlertDialog for this and construct one using its Builder class. The example below uses the default constructor that only takes in a Context since the dialog will inherit the proper theme from the Context you pass in, but there’s also a constructor that allows you to specify a specific theme resource … Read more
