Custom dialog on Android: How can I center its title?
Just found this post while trying to figure out how to do the same thing. Here's how I did it for anyone else that finds this in the future.
Style xml is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="PauseDialog" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
<item name="android:windowTitleStyle">@style/PauseDialogTitle</item>
</style>
<style name="PauseDialogTitle" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.DialogWindowTitle">
<item name="android:gravity">center_horizontal</item>
</style>
<style name="DialogWindowTitle">
<item name="android:maxLines">1</item>
<item name="android:scrollHorizontally">true</item>
<item name="android:textAppearance">@android:style/TextAppearance.DialogWindowTitle</item>
</style>
</resources>
And in my activities onCreateDialog method for the dialog I want styled I create the dialog like this:
Dialog pauseDialog = new Dialog(this, R.style.PauseDialog);
pauseDialog.setTitle(R.string.pause_menu_label);
pauseDialog.setContentView(R.layout.pause_menu);
Another way that this can be done programatically is using the setCustomTitle():
// Creating the AlertDialog with a custom xml layout (you can still use the default Android version)
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.viewname, null);
builder.setView(view);
TextView title = new TextView(this);
// You Can Customise your Title here
title.setText("Custom Centered Title");
title.setBackgroundColor(Color.DKGRAY);
title.setPadding(10, 10, 10, 10);
title.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
title.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
title.setTextSize(20);
builder.setCustomTitle(title);
