Android :: Trying To Create Basic AlertDialog Using Activity With Theme Of Theme.Dialog

Sep 10, 2010

I'm trying to create a basic AlertDialog using an activity with a theme of Theme.Dialog.What I want is for there to be a horizontal bar between the title and the message. However, the bar is not being resized correctly. Rather than being the width of the activity, the bar is the width of the message text. This means that if the activity is being expanded by the message, then the bar will fill the whole activity, so it looks correct. However, if the message width is less than the activity width, the bar only displays above the part of the activity with the text. I've tried every single combination of "fill_parent" and "wrap_content" that I can think of, and none of those work.I've also tried using RelativeLayout and placing the bar above the message text, but that also doesn't work. If I use the RelativeLayout approach and set the bar to fill_parent, it causes the activity to expand to fill the whole screen width, which is also undesirable. Ideally, I want the text placed, the activity width computed, and the bar resized to that width (without affecting it). Is there some way to flag a view to fill the parent view but not to affect its size?

Android :: Best Practice For Overriding Both Theme And Theme.Dialog Correctly In An App?

Jul 15, 2009

I use themes in my apps, which generally just extend android:Theme and then set a bunch of styles. I use dialogs made from layouts, but since I set the theme for the application, they have inherited all of the regular styles and no longer carry a border, etc. My question is: How do I say, "I want everything to use this theme which extends Theme, except dialogs, which should use this other theme that extends Theme.Dialog"? It seems like that's how things work by default but when you set the theme to your own, you lose the dialog theme!

Android : Extending Theme Dialog - Unable To Theme In Project

Mar 6, 2009

I've extended Theme.Dialog to use a different color as per the sample in the ApiDemos project but for some reason it does not use the theme properly in my project. I created a new project and it works perfectly fine there. The main problem here is that it does not show as floating in my project. Instead, it sets the rest of the screen black except for what would be the dialog window, where it uses the correct colors, etc. Any ideas? I am beating my head against the wall here.

Android :: Starting An Activity As A Dialog Without Using A Theme Modifier

Sep 23, 2010

I want to start an activity as a dialog, which can be simply done by: <activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">

But I want to do control the dialog, so I've to do it programmatically. Basically I want to modify this property of dialog: mCanceledOnTouchOutside = true

This will make the dialog cancel itself when touched outside of it's bounds. (Basically I want to replicate the popup behavior). The issue is I can't simply create a dialog and set it's layout since I need a call to activity (to initialized datasets)

Android :: Theme.Dialog For PreferenceScreen Child Does Not Work

Jan 25, 2009

I have a PreferenceActivity defined in the manifest with android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog. The theme works well with the first settings screen, but not with the child PreferenceScreen elements (if I have several screens in my preferences). The child screens have the default Theme applied in this case.If the theme is changed to Theme.Light or the default, it works well for all the screens(parent and children included)Is there a way to apply the theme to the children, or is this a BUG ?

Android :: How To Show WebView With Theme.Dialog Style In Droid

Aug 29, 2010

I declared a WebView activity in the manifest like this. code...

When I start this activity within my main activity, only the title of the dialog, containing the apps name, is visible but not the WebView. If I add a TextView to the LinearLayout, it is shown as well, but still the WebView is missing.
If I don't apply android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" in the manifest, the WebView is displayed.

Why is that and how can I show a WebView in a dialog?

Android :: Create [style] Theme Programatically And Make It Default?

May 11, 2009

What would be the best way to create a theme programatically and set it as the theme of an activity. Not using onCreate, but rather really embed it in the package in a way that if a define a background it will appear even after onCreate finishes. My first guess is to use the PackageManager but I'm not seeing a way through...

Android :: Preference Activity And Theme Not Applying

Apr 11, 2010

I have a problem in the Preferences Activity, in the main preferences the theme shows ok, but if I get to a sub preference, the theme gets messy, it is not white as it should, it is all dark, and the font is black so you can't see much, and when I start clicking on any items they will get sometimes white as they should but revert to black soon after. This is only happens on 2.1, in both the real device and emulator. Tested on the emulator running 1.6 and it was working correctly.

Android : Single Instance Theme Of An Activity In Phone

Sep 7, 2010

I have two activities. A and B. A starts B. Both are running in the screen and both are visible. Say now B is visible.

On a special key press, I want to bring the A to the front and make it active. The problem I am facing is when the special key is pressed, another instance of A is launched and the new instance is brought to the front.

But I want the original A to come to the front. I want to make this change in the framework layer rather than application specific by using the singleInstance theme in the launchMode in AndroidManifest file.

Please help me in this regard as this is really urgent for me. Any inputs will be really valuable for me.

Android : Button On An AlertDialog That Doesn't Automatically Close Dialog / Fix It?

Apr 8, 2010

I have a simple list view with some check boxes in an alert dialog. I need to option to add a select all/none but you can't bring up the menu in an alert dialog, and I want to do this function from a button. From what I've seen any kind of button (positive, neutral, and negative) all close the dialog regardless.

So, is this possible? If no, what alternatives do I have? My last mitigation is to simply create a new view and recreate everything. Is a new view the best solution?

Android :: How Do I Change TextColorPrimary In Theme?

Jun 28, 2010

I'm changing the theme of an activity in onCreate using setTheme (I'm doing that even before calling super.onCreate(), as this is supposed to be more reliable).It does work in the sense that it changes the background and foreground colors. However, my layout has a few elements that use styles like textAppearanceLarge. Now Android's textAppearanceLarge internally uses the textPrimaryColor - which is still unchanged by my theme.I tried to override the primary text color in my theme, but that doesn't seem to work.

Android :: How To Use Custom Item In Theme?

Jan 30, 2009

Could anyone post or point me to an example of using custom items in a theme? I've created a theme that uses custom attributes as item names, and I want to refer to those items in the code. I can see the theme is working because it also sets the android:windowBackground color. As a concrete example, I want an inactiveColor item in my Theme.GreenWithYellow to use in onDraw methods in my Views. I think this would be the right mechanism to use to have multiple color schemes for application specific purposes, but I would be happy to entertain other approaches, too.
