Button style in AlertDialogs
- by Steve H
Does anyone know how to override the default style for AlertDialog buttons? I've looked through the Android source for themes and styles and experimented with different things but I haven't been able to find a way that works.
What I've got below works for changing the backgrounds, but doesn't do anything with the buttons. myTheme is applied to the whole <application> via the manifest. (Some other items were deleted for clarity, but they only relate to the title bar.)
<style name="myTheme" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:buttonStyle">@style/customButtonStyle</item>
<item name="android:alertDialogStyle">@style/dialogAlertTheme</item>
</style>
<style name="dialogAlertTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog.Alert">
<item name="android:fullDark">@drawable/dialog_loading_background</item>
<item name="android:topDark">@drawable/dialog_alert_top</item>
<item name="android:centerDark">@drawable/dialog_alert_center</item>
<item name="android:bottomDark">@drawable/dialog_alert_bottom</item>
<!-- this last line makes no difference to the buttons -->
<item name="android:buttonStyle">@style/customButtonStyle</item>
</style>
Any ideas?
