Using a Material-based Dialog Theme with AppCompat
Use the latest Appcompat library
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.2.1'// or any version greater than 22.1
and in Manifest use the following theme
android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog"
Java code
AlertDialog.Builder builder =
new AlertDialog.Builder(SecondActivity.this, R.style.AppCompatAlertDialogStyle);
builder.setTitle("SCRUM");
builder.setMessage("In the SCRUM methodology a sprint is the basic unit of development. Each sprint is preceded by a planning meeting, where the tasks for the sprint are identified and an estimated commitment for the sprint goal is made, and followed by a review or retrospective meeting where the progress is reviewed and lessons for the next sprint are identified. During each sprint, the team creates finished portions of a product.....");
builder.setPositiveButton("OK", null);//second parameter used for onclicklistener
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", null);
builder.show();
Use this theme
<style name="AppCompatAlertDialogStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog.Alert">
<item name="colorAccent">#FFCC00</item>
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">#FFFFFF</item>
<item name="android:background">#5fa3d0</item>
</style>
Import support v7 alert dialog
import android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog;
Output like this,
There is no material based theme for a dialog in AppCompat yet, see here
Will appcompat automatically theme dialogs to look like the Lollipop version?
Response
Not yet, but it's on the todo list.
Update:
In version 22.1
of the Support Library
you can now get the material dialog style by using AppCompatDialog
