Well, I did it this way. Create your dialog that extends Dialog. In the constructor call: requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); this.getContext().setTheme(R.style.MyCustomTheme); setContentView(R.layout.your_layout);
Put all the initialisation of all your stuff in onCreate. Then to open the dialog from an activity simply do this: new YourDialog(this).show(); No need for anything in the manifest. You may want to add a OnDismissListener also. One downside of this approach is that if the screen orientation changes, the dialog dies. I think you can code around this, but I haven't done that yet.
