I've been creating custom dialogs using the SDK docs: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html#CustomDialog
What I've wanted to do is have a dialog with an extra checkbox below a large chunk of text, so large in some cases that the text has to scroll. The checkbox should be stuck at the bottom, always visible, with the text above it. The dialog should resize as required to fit the text, until the text can't fit and the text has to scroll. I found that I could put the checkbox as a custom view as described in the docs, and I could use setMessage for the text - and the text would scroll - just like I wanted. The problem was as the text got long to the point where it needed to scroll, it would also push the checkbox view down beneath the dialog buttons where it couldn't be seen or touched! I've worked around this problem by adding a TextView to the View above the Checkbox, then wrapping the whole lot in a ScrollView. The dialog grows and shrinks with the message, the only issue being that the Checkbox can scroll out of view, but at least it's still accessible. The closest I've got is assigning a fixed height to the TextView, but having to define a layout for every possible screen size and orientation seems absurd, yet I can't think of any other way to end up with an ideal layout. Is this possible? Can anyone help me out here? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
