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

Instead of setting the text of the alertdialog, you should set a custom view form your layouts. And before you do so, modify your view's font. try this example

TextView content = new TextView(this);
     content.setText("on another font");
     content.setTypeface(Typeface.SANS_SERIF);

//Use the first example, if your using a xml generated view

 AlertDialog.Builder myalert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
     myalert.setTitle("Your title");
     myalert.setView(content);
     myalert.setNeutralButton("Close dialog", null);
     myalert.setCancelable(true);
     myalert.show();

code for xml...replace your font in the xml

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/yourid"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="8dp"
    android:text="your content" />

Answer 2

Try setting theme for the dialog. Change the typeface attribute like this :

<style name="CustomDialog" parent="android:Theme.Dialog">
    <item name="android:typeface">serif</item>
</style>

Though this changes Fonts of all the textviews within the dialog. so make sure TextViews are set to proper typeface
