Android Alert Dialog Background Issue API 11+

Question

I create a AlertDialog with the code below. For some reason I\'m getting an extra background (see pic) on Honeycomb and above. The code crashes

Answer 1

Figured out the answers

1. AlertDialog has it's on static constants for each theme in the AlertDialog class and it does not take the standard theme. when I replaced R.style.MyTheme or android.R.style.Theme_Holo_Dialog with AlertDialog.THEME_HOLO_LIGHT the code worked just fine.

2. Seems the constructor AlertDialog.Builder(Context context, int theme) was introduced in API 11. My fix was simply to change the line to:

   final AlertDialog.Builder builder;
   if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
       builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
   } else {
       builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this,R.style.JumpDialog);
   }
