Question

I’m trying to implement a custom dialog in a PreferenceActivity that still has the Android-generic positive/neutral/negative buttons in the dialog, i.e. a custom AlertDialog. The way to go seems to be described in the bottom example of this article: Dialogs on Android developer pages .

However, I can’t find a way to get the root for a PreferenceActivity for doing this:

View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_dialog,
                           (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.??????));

Does anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

Try this to get rootview of any view

View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_dialog,null);
View view = layout.getRootView();
