Android: iOS UIActionSheet equivalent

I am converting an iOS app over and need to implement the equivalent of a UIActionSheet from iOS to Android.

What UI element would most closely mimic this.

I am targeting Android 2.2 and up.

Solution

  • You would use an AlertDialog or Dialog object. The AlertDialog class does what you ask. Dialog allows for more customizability.

    Edit: if you want the same animative effect, you're going to need to use a SlidingDrawer.

    Note: None of these classes, except maybe the AlertDialog, are as easy to use as the UIActionSheet.
