In Android, is it possible to customize the header layout (the icon + a text) layout of a dialog? Or can I just set a custom string value of the title text?

Thank you.

    It’s possible to change the header of the Dialog if you set a custom layout for both the dialog and the header. I’ve only ever used this method to remove the header entirely, but this ought to work for a custom header:

    dialog = new Dialog(context);
Window window = dialog.getWindow();
window.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.my_dialog_layout);
window.setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.my_custom_header);

    This is all a tad more complicated (as you have to setup the dialog’s layout as well) but it’s easier than subclassing Dialog.
