Question

I’ve been trying to set this alertDialog to a linearview by making it link to a xml file. But its not working. Any help would be appreciated, thanx

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage("Are you sure you want to exit?")
   .setCancelable(false)
   .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
       public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
            MyActivity.this.finish();
       }
   })
   .setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
       public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
            dialog.cancel();
       }
   });
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();

Answer 1

Do i get you right: You want to place a LinearLayout inside a AlertDialog?

LayoutInflater inf = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
LinearLayout myLayout = (LinearLayout) inf.inflate(R.layout.dialog_layout, null);

builder.setView(myLayout);

Just replace dialog_layout with your Layouts XML.
Also you don’t need the builder.setMessage("Are you sure you want to exit?") anymore.
