How to define as a view for an AlertDialog a view described in a XML file

Question

Here is my problem. I would like to have an AlertDialog that have a title and a positive button. I want to describe the content of the AlertDialog in a XML file (except for the title/button). I have created a file called dlg_addpwd.xml in my layout resources. Here is the code I'm using:

 AlertDialog alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); alert.setTitle("Password access"); alert.setView(findViewById(R.layout.dlg_addpwd)); alert.setPositiveButton("Add", listenAddPwdDlg); alert.show();

I guess the line

 alert.setView(findViewById(R.layout.dlg_addpwd));

is wrong, isn't it ? So the main idea of my question is: how to define as a view for an AlertDialog a view described in a XML file?

Thanks

Vincent

 LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.paypaldialog, (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.yourDialog)); AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(YourClass.this) .setView(layout); alertDialog = builder.create(); alertDialog.show();

that is how I do it.

See my answer to Customizing the Alert dialog in Android to create a custom Alert Dialog.

The main problem with your code is that you don't want to use AlertDialog.Builder. Instead you want to create a new Dialog, and use setContentView() to render your XML.
