Change title font of Alert Dialog box

Question

I want to change the font of the title of Alert Dialog box.

Can anybody tell how can I do it?

Answer 1

You have to inflate or customize and create a style and apply to AlertDialog

Heres how you inflate a layout and apply it to AlertDialog

LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(ctx);
View view = li.inflate(R.layout.formatted_dialog, null);

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(ctx);
builder.setTitle("Formatted");
builder.setView(view);

define all the formatting and styles required in the layout you specified.

You can access specific textview defined in the layout using inflated View i.e.

LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(ctx);
View view = li.inflate(R.layout.formatted_dialog, null);
TextView label=(TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.i_am_from_formatted_layout_lable);

Sample layout saved as res/layout/link.xml:

In your onCreate() or where or whenever you want to call AlertDialog

LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(this);
View view = li.inflate(R.layout.link, null);

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle("Formatted");
builder.setView(view).create().show();
TextView text=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);

replace this with context object if you are calling from some other method.
