StyledDialogs for Android

This library makes styling and using dialogs a piece of cake.

Screenshot of the dialogs

Features:

  • Compatible with Holo style and Android Design Guidelines
  • Change style for all dialogs only by changing a few color resources
  • Same look for Android 2.2+
  • Same API as native Android DialogFragments
  • SimpleDialogFragment class, which makes displaying simple dialogs a one line of code
  • ListDialogFragment, DatePickerDialogFragment and TimePickerDialogFragment

How to include it in your project:

With Gradle:

compile 'eu.inmite.android.lib:android-styled-dialogs:1.2.0'

With Maven:

<dependency>
	<groupId>eu.inmite.android.lib</groupId>
	<artifactId>android-styled-dialogs</artifactId>
	<version>1.2.0</version>
	<type>aar</type>
</dependency>

Manually:

  • clone the project
  • add it as library project in your IDE
  • include latest support library

How to style all dialogs:

Add following into your application theme:

<item name="sdlDialogStyle">@style/DialogStyleLight.Custom</item>

or

<item name="sdlDialogStyle">@style/DialogStyleDark.Custom</item>

Define your dialog style, example for light theme:

<style name="DialogStyleLight.Custom">
	<!-- anything can be left out: -->
	<item name="titleTextColor">@color/dialog_title_text</item>
	<item name="titleSeparatorColor">@color/dialog_title_separator</item>
	<item name="messageTextColor">@color/dialog_message_text</item>
	<item name="buttonTextColor">@color/dialog_button_text</item>
	<item name="buttonSeparatorColor">@color/dialog_button_separator</item>
	<item name="buttonBackgroundColorNormal">@color/dialog_button_normal</item>
	<item name="buttonBackgroundColorPressed">@color/dialog_button_pressed</item>
	<item name="buttonBackgroundColorFocused">@color/dialog_button_focused</item>
	<item name="dialogBackground">@drawable/dialog_background</item>
</style>

How to create simple dialogs:

Easy:

Dialog with a simple message and Close button:

SimpleDialogFragment.createBuilder(this, getSupportFragmentManager()).setMessage(R.string.message).show();

Dialog with a title, message and Close button:

SimpleDialogFragment.createBuilder(this, getSupportFragmentManager()).setTitle(R.string.title).setMessage(R.string.message).show();

Dialog with a title, message and two buttons:

SimpleDialogFragment.createBuilder(this, getSupportFragmentManager()).setTitle(R.string.title).setMessage(R.string.message).setPositiveButtonText(R.string.positive_button).setNegativeButtonText(R.string.negative_button).show();

How to react on button press in your Activity/Fragment:

Simply implement interface ISimpleDialogListener in your Activity/Fragment. Listener's callbacks have requestCode parameter - you can use it if you have more dialogs in one Activity/Fragment. For Fragments use setTargetFragment() method in the builder.

How to react on cancelling the dialog:

Implement interface ISimpleDialogCancelListener in your Activity/Fragment.

How to create all other DialogFragments:

Extend BaseDialogFragment.

Demo app contains a JayneHatDialogFragment which shows how to add custom view to a dialog.

Why 'Dialogs'?

Theodor Dialogs was a famous Czech painter, uncle of Jára Cimrman. Jára Cimrman was a playwright, philosopher, inventor, teacher, poet, mathematician and more but he lacked painting skills. That's why Theodor was helping him with many projects. Just like Android and this library do.
