What I'm trying to do is change the default backgrounds of a custom DialogFragment that I have written. Normally, I would do this by changing the XML layout file, however, for a DialogFragment these buttons don't exist in the layout file.
In essence, I'm trying to get access to the setPositiveButton, setNegativeButton and setNeutral buttons in order to modify them. Alternatively, I would next try to do this by getting them by id, however, since they aren't defined in a layout file, I do not have a corresponding id for them. I've found plenty examples of how to modify the rest of the layout, but I can't find anywhere that positive/neutral/negative buttons are modifiable.
Ideally, I could do this in the following block of code:
.setPositiveButton(R.string.add, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
...
}
})
Thanks in advance.
Here is the code ... The button instance is valid only after the dialog created. Hope this helps you.
public static class CustomDialog extends DialogFragment
{
public static CustomDialog newInstance()
{
return new CustomDialog();
}
@Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState);
Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.setButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE, "OK",new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
}
});
dialog.setButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEGATIVE, "CANCEL",new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
}
});
return dialog;
}
@Override
public void onStart()
{
super.onStart();
Button pButton = ((AlertDialog) getDialog()).getButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE);
Button nButton = ((AlertDialog) getDialog()).getButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEGATIVE);
pButton.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.Blue));
nButton.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.Green));
}
}
