Change Theme.Dialog to look like Theme.Light.Dialog in Android

android, dialog, styles, themes

Solution

Looks like I got it working.

<color name="black">#FF000000</color>
<color name="whitegrey">#FFF2F2F2</color>

<style name="dialog_light" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
    <item name="@android:windowBackground">@color/whitegrey</item>
    <item name="@android:textColor">@color/black</item>        
</style>

Problem

There is no `Theme.Light.Dialog` to use with the rest of my project that is using `Theme.Light`. How can I change `Theme.Dialog` to look like a `Theme.Light` version of `Dialog`. I know that I must overwrite sections of `Theme.Dialog` in styles.xml as below. What items should I overwrite with which values? ``` <style name="dialog_light" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"> <item name="android:???????"></item> <item name="android:???????"></item> </style> ``` I could just make the background that light white grey, but the buttons, spinners etc are also different on the light theme to look better on the light background. EDIT Looks like I got it working. ``` <color name="black">#FF000000</color> <color name="whitegrey">#FFF2F2F2</color> <style name="dialog_light" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"> <item name="@android:windowBackground">@color/whitegrey</item> <item name="@android:textColor">@color/black</item> </style> ```
