Hi,
in the iOS version of an application i was able to make a dialog that was really customized, using the iCustomDialog library.
Now, i wanted to mantain the same look and feel between the iOS and the Android version of the application.
this is one of the dialogs i want to replicate:
And this is how far i've got:
So, i'm almost there.
Changing the background color happened in two steps:
- changing the pnlDialog background (pnlDialog is the one declared in Dialog_Ready)
- changing the pnlButtons background. pnlButtons is the panel which is the parent of the buttons.
To get to pnlButtons is easy
btn can also be used to change the appereance of the buttons. Text, Typeface, TextSize, TextColor, Background, Height.
However, no matter what i tried, i couldn't change the distance between the button and the bottom.
I then tried to operate on pnlButtons but nothing i tried worked.
I noticed that if i only changed the CANCEL button height the view that contained them was scrollable, so i tried to cast it to a ScrollView, but as soon as i tried changing one parameter i got this error
so this is a ButtonBarLayout... How can i change its properties?
Furthermore, i would like to be able to change the dialog view directly, for two reasons.
- I'd like it to have the corners more rounded
- For another dialog-like window it would be interesting to have it semi-transparent. I think that with iOS i just have to change the alpha of the dialog, but in android.. no idea.
By the way, i tried to get to the dialog view by referencing to the parent of the parent of .. i went five levels deep hoping to get something, hit the activity or at least a null reference, but nope. I really got 5 parent views..
Tested by changing the color of each one to different colors and then backwards to transparent :/
Maybe at this point i should just add a panel and mimic a dialog.. i don't know..
Thanks for all who can help me..

Dim btn As Button
btn = dialog.GetButton(DialogResponse.CANCEL)
If btn.IsInitialized Then
Dim pnlButtons As B4XView = btn.parent
