Dear Dianne et al,
My feedback was meant as constructive criticism in general -
definitely not as a dis directed at you. I believe that an example is
worth a thousand words - it works or it don't.
I appreciate the time you spend with the board. I make it a point to
star pretty much anything you write here so I can review it later.
This particular thread was recalled exactly because of this. Your
suggestion of altering the style of a dialog seems perfect for a step
by step walk through of an app - which is what I am working on.
Clearly we need more generous experts like yourself helping Android
along.
That being said ... I thought I had figured it out - but I am still
stumped. If someone out there could help, it will help save at least
one Android developer's weekend ...
Here is my code:
Within my theme.xml I have:
<resources>
<style name="ToastyDialog" parent="android:Theme">
<item
name="android:windowBackground">@android:drawable/toast_frame</item>
<item
name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@android:style/Animation.Toast</item>
</style>
<resources>
Within my dialog layout I have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
style="@style/ToastyDialog"
>
<TextView android:id="@+id/TextView01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello_world"
>
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
NOTE: The Eclipse interface gives you a choice to pick a theme, and my
theme does appear. Thing is, it does not write it in the XML. I
added the style tag based upon this post:

I sincerely hope that I am making a stupid, obvious mistake.
Thank You,
Jason
