Android :: Change Background Of Alert Dialogs?
Jun 25, 2010
I use the AlertDialog class in my application. By default, these alert dialogs have a transparent background. I'm trying to use an opaque background instead, very unsuccessfully.
These are my styles:
CODE:....................
I applied the "MyOpaqueActivity" style successfully for whole activities (the window background is changed to "my_background"), but it doesn't work for alert dialogs within those activities. The "alertDialogStyle" attribute and my "MyOpaqueAlertDialog" style don't seem to have any effect.
So how can I change the background of these alert dialogs?

I'm doing an APP that shows some dialogs. Those dialogs are Alert dialogs, and when they are being showed if I change the orientation of the mobile I lost them...they are not being kept on the screen.

I'm on JellyBlast 3 (Gingerbread, I guess) with my Galaxy Y and I'm a little unhappy with the theme that comes with JellyBlast. I have fixed some issues but I cannot figure out how to avoid black text on dark background in Alert Dialogs. This issue makes some dialogs of the hololauncher and some other apps completely ureadable if you do not turn the screen to full brightness (what I normally don't do).
What I've found out so far: In the Gingerbread source the Theme for the the Alert Dialog is hard coded:
Code:
protected AlertDialog(Context context) {
this(context, com.android.internal.R.style.Theme_Dialog_Alert);
}
I'm not yet allowed to post external links... I found the above on github in the gingerbread branch in platform_frameworks_base -> core -> java -> android -> app -> AlertDialog.java
The hololauncher uses the AlertDialog.Builder class to create the Dialogs and it uses a TextView Widget to display the text. The layout looks like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceLargeInverse" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:paddingLeft="15.0dip" android:paddingRight="15.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:minHeight="?android:listPreferredItemHeight" android:drawablePadding="14.0dip" />
Here you see, that the textAppearanceLargeInverse definition of the theme is used as text color. And the theme should always be "Theme.Dialog.Alert" since this is hardcoded.
I assume that com.android.internal.R.style.Theme_Dialog_Alert refers to the Theme.Dialog.Alert styledefinition in the ROMs framework-res.apk. So I added the following line to the styles.xml in framework-res.apk -> values/styles.xml inside Theme.Dialog.Alert:
Code:
<item name="textAppearanceLargeInverse">@style/TextAppearance.Large</item>
I hoped that this would overwrite the definition of textAppearanceLargeInverse for the AlertDialog so that I will not use the inherited definition of the dark theme. The color that's referenced by @style/TextAppearance.Large is (contrary to ...Large.Inverse) is #FFFFFFFF or at least close to it.
Unfortunately this does not work and I do not understand why. I got that far to figure all this stuff out and my phone seems little impressed by my effort. It still displays dark text on dark background.

I have the following linear layout. What I don't understand is if I set the background to another image, the padding information are reset. Is there a way to prevent this?
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/aPanel"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/bkground"
android:paddingLeft="15dp" android:paddingRight="15dp">
<!-- some children here -->
</LinearLayout>
I see the position of the children get shifted when I change the backround drawable of the linearlayout 'aPanel'.

Whenever I get a text message Handcent plays a song from my MP3's. Even though I have set it to use a simple notification. The song plays all the way through too, the only way I can silence it is to turn off my ringer volume. But then I have no ringer.

I know on my old BB I could change the times when I get alerts. For example, I don't want my phone beeping at me when I get an e-mail at 3 a.m. On my BB I could set those alerts to be active say from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. So far, I haven't been able to find out how to do that on the Fascinate.

I am new to this community and to the lg spirit 4g phone. My calendar, email and text all have the same ringtone. I miss a lot of things because I can't hear the alert go off no matter what tone I use from the phone's memory.
Do you know how I change alert tones?.

For crying out loud all I want to do is change the alert for facebook. As it is now all it does is vibrate, I want it to make a noise, is that too much to ask? Switched from iphone to Droid Ultra. Way too much to go through just to change an alert.

I have 2 questions though.
1 - how do I change the alert notification for my calendar? Originally it was just the standard alert. When I view the settings there was the option to use the standard droid alert of use a ringtone. So, playing around I cheeked use a ring tone. It brought me to a directory(?) or folder with 4 songs that I had downloaded using railio(sp) ringtones. Now that's the only place I can get to for ALL alerts and ringtones. Even for my contacts it goes to the 4 songs I downloaded from railio ringtones and I can't navigate anywhere else.
I have gone into manage applications and uninstalled the ringtone program, but still can't get out of that spot for my alerts and ringtones. It's driving me crazy!
2 - My contacts have multiple entries for one person.
How can I delete the multiple entries for a contact? When I edit the contact information for a person I see 3 - 5 duplicate entries for one contact. When I first got my droid I synced with 2 google accounts - I didn't know what I was doing --- so, the information under one contact is repeated many times.

I am working a widget... I'd like to change my widget background image dynamically, is it possible? I tried theme & style, it doesn't want to work. It doesn't show any background image (see code sample below). I tried RemoteViews.setImageViewResource on an ImageView filling the widget, but i doesn't strech my 9patch image correctly (and it doesn't seems to change background, it add another image). Is there a solution? Additionnal question : is it possible to use an external (sdcard) 9patch image as background? if yes: how?
