Public constructors

Builder

Added in API level 1
Builder(context: Context!)

Creates a builder for an alert dialog that uses the default alert dialog theme.

The default alert dialog theme is defined by android.R.attr#alertDialogTheme within the parent context's theme.

Parameters
context Context!: the parent context

Builder

Added in API level 1
Builder(
    context: Context!,
    themeResId: Int)

Creates a builder for an alert dialog that uses an explicit theme resource.

The specified theme resource (themeResId) is applied on top of the parent context's theme. It may be specified as a style resource containing a fully-populated theme, such as android.R.style#Theme_Material_Dialog, to replace all attributes in the parent context's theme including primary and accent colors.

To preserve attributes such as primary and accent colors, the themeResId may instead be specified as an overlay theme such as android.R.style#ThemeOverlay_Material_Dialog. This will override only the window attributes necessary to style the alert window as a dialog.

Alternatively, the themeResId may be specified as 0 to use the parent context's resolved value for android.R.attr#alertDialogTheme.

Parameters
context Context!: the parent context
themeResId Int: the resource ID of the theme against which to inflate this dialog, or 0 to use the parent context's default alert dialog theme
