What's a correct way of using HoloEverywhere

Question

I'm trying to use dev branch of HoloEverywhere library to in my app. I understood that this is still during development but the demo seems to work okay so I give it a try.

I put android:theme="@style/Holo.Theme.Sherlock.Light" in the activity in my manifest. The structure of the activity is that it's using Fragment, one is a list and another is just Fragment. The ActionBar looks Holo just fine.

I turned my SherlockFragmentActivity into SActivity and Fragment into SFragment. Just as I checked in the accompanied demo app. I open dialog using this block of code in my SFragment.

    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
    builder.setTitle("Work in Progress")
            .setView(inflater.inflate(R.layout.extra_input))
            .setIcon(R.drawable.icon);
    builder.setPositiveButton("Positive", null);
    builder.setNegativeButton("Negative", null);
    builder.setNeutralButton("Neutral", null);
    builder.show();

The dialog popped up looking like the OS's AlertDialog where EditText inside extra_input layout shown as Holo. ProgressDialog also display with OS's theme as well.

I believed this is me incorrectly implemented the library. The question is how to do it right?

Edit: Solved it, I need to use com.WazaBe.HoloEverywhere.app.AlertDialog instead of android.app.AlertDialog. Silly me.

Add your solution as an answer and accept it after the correct amount of time has elapsed. This allows the question to still be valid in a Q&A format. — cjk, Sep 19 '12 at 08:01

what do you do to the manifest in the theme attribute of the activity/application ? does the library has something of its own? – android developer Jun 19 '13 at 22:35
