AlertDialog styling - how to change styl

Answer 1

In your case, I think the dialog theme would work.

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity(), R.style.YourDialogStyle;

You can specify your dialog theme just like the code above.

<style name="YourDialogStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">
    <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/primary</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/accent</item>
    <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/primary_dark</item>
</style>

Here is the example of theme for Dialog.

• android:colorAccent will affect your text colors of negative or positive buttons.
• android:textColor will affect your title text color of dialog.
• android:textColorPrimary will affect your message color of dialog.

Another option is you can make your own custom layout for the dialog.
