Isn't there a style for AlertDialogs though? I thought that it would be possible to set AlertDialogStyle in my application Theme to be able to control the Style of all the AlertDialogs (of which ProgressDialog is one). <style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Light.NoTitleBar"> <item name="android:alertDialogStyle">@style/AlertDialog</item> </style> > A quick inspection of progress_dialog.xml from the sources shows that > the TextView with the message: > > - Does not use any specific style reference, so it can't be customized > with a theme attribute (not without affecting how the parent activity > looks, or possibly creating a ContextThemeWrapper just for this dialog). Could you explain this a bit more, I didn't quite follow. I understand that message TextView doesn't have any styling attribute. But I thought that a Dialog could have its own Theme irrespective of its parent Activity by either explicitly setting the Theme in the Dialog constructor or by speciyfing 'android:alertDialogStyle' in the application Theme. I also had a look at the ContextThemeWrapper but I couldn't se how it should be used to modify the stle for various View elements. Can point me to an example showing how it would be used? > Best option, in my opinion - create your own progress dialog so as to > not rely on implementation details. > > Make sure it's based on AlertDialog so you get the pretty title bar with > the icon and possible device-specific customizations.

I think either this or setting my own custom View in an AlertDialog is the only solution. Make my think that the styling of the dialogs is a bit of a train wreck. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
