Hello,

I think I'm not having much luck with this Theme.DIalog theme. I have tried
inflating
a view with the parent view set to 0 and setting the message text inside the
inflated
view and then calling setContentView() but got exactly the same result: the
view is
too small.

Then I tried changing the layout as you suggest. For instance in the
LinearLayout
which had both layout_width and layout_height set to match_parent I tried
setting
them to some fixed pixel values with no result. Then I tried setting the
text manually
in the TextField XML element to some really long text and got a tall narrow
window
with no scrollbar and the bottom button stiff out of the window.

I don't know if this theme was well tested but I need a popup window of some
sort
or else I will have to take over the whole screen with a regular Activity
instead of
a popup window of reduced width/height.

Suggestions welcome,

John Goche
