AlertDialog style buttons for an Activity

Question

I have an activity with a Save and Cancel button at the bottom.

In AlertDialog, the buttons are displayed inside a styled container view of some sort.

How c

Answer 1

I do some thing like this:

LinearLayout dialogLayout = (LinearLayout) ((LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE)).inflate(R.layout.dialog_addeditrecord, null);

I then use the dialogLayout to call findViewById() to pull in the buttons and other views and setup OnClickListeners and such...

then to show the dialog:

builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

builder.setView(dialogLayout);

builder.create().show();
