I need to create a custom dialog fragment that works with all Android api 8 and above but I'm stuck. My understanding is that I need to use the support library, fair enough but the activity that the dialog will be used in needs to be descended from RoboActivity and according to what I have read here http://android-developers.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/using-dialogfragments.html I would need to descend the activity from FragmentActivity which, as Java doesn't have multiple inheritance I'm at a loss as to what to do. Not using RoboActivity is NOT an option.
So how do I go about creating a custom dialog with it's own layout that is compatible with api 8 and above?
Simply use RoboFragmentActivity instead:-)
