Hello Hackbod, I indeed looked at the API demo you refer to, but I want to get the same type of buttons panel at the bottom so that I am consistent with the overall platform. The look of the dialog and the panel at the bottom has changed a couple of times, and by using AlertDialog I don't have to worry about any future changes. Plus, I don't have to build everything myself.
My solution right now is to use an activity with a transparent theme and then call showDialog in onCreate. This way I can still use AlertDialog. It now works like the Edit Bookmarks activity behaviour I was looking for. It would of course be better to have an activity that you can style like an AlertDialog. I have looked at the classes com.android.internal.app.AlertActivity and com.android.internal.app.AlertController which seem to do what I want, but I obviously cannot use them. Hope you will make these public in the future.
