I am trying to open a dialog on widget click. I have solved the problem skinning the activity started on click with android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" . Unfortunately I cannot reach the same look of a dialog.
This is the outcome:
Instead, I would like to reach this result (except for the button, of course):
(the widget dialog you can see keeping the screen pushed)
As you can see there are some differences: the color of the list items, the color of the text and the list item separator. Is there a predefined theme/style to obtain the same look of a standard dialog? If not, what are the steps to follow to reach that result?
I have seen that the widget provided by FoxyRing has the behaviour I would like to have.
Thanks!

Why not use a "traditional" Main Activity with a transparent background layout
ReplyDeleteand call a standard dialog from it ?
... well if I understood you correctly, that would make the trick in a very easy way, isn't it ?
you could dynamically create the dialog like this:
ReplyDeleteContext mContext = this;
Dialog dialog = new Dialog(mContext);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.data_dialog);
dialog.setTitle("Your title");
AlertDialog.Builder builder;
AlertDialog alertDialog;
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.data_dialog,
(ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.AbsoluteLayout01));
builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
builder.setView(layout);
alertDialog = builder.create();
alertDialog.show();
final EditText txtUsername = (EditText) layout.findViewById(R.id.txtUsername);
final AlertDialog thisDialog = alertDialog;
Button btnSave = (Button) layout.findViewById(R.id.btnSave);
btnSave.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
String strtxtUsername = txtUsername.getText().toString();
//do something...
}
});
To close the dialog, call thisDialog.dismiss();
The style looks like the regular Theme.Light.NoTitleBar with a ListView with an Icon and a Title-Text.
Hope that helps!
There is actually a far simpler way to do this than what I suggested below. Have a look at:
