AlertDialog with selector

Question

I am trying to do a Dialog with a selector that looks exactly like this:

I've tried using an AlertDialog that holds a ListView, but that gives an ugly black border between the ListView and the bottom gray area. I could use a normal Dialog, but I don't want to build the bottom gray area manually.

I know that I can subclass the AlertDialog, but then I will also need to subclass the Builder and it ends up being a lot of code for such a small detail. Is there any neat way of doing this?

Cheers,

Use the alert dialog builder, it has options for that. Short example:

AlertDialog.Builder adb = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
CharSequence items[] = new CharSequence[] {"First", "Second", "Third"};
adb.setSingleChoiceItems(items, 0, new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface d, int n) {
            // ...
        }

});
adb.setNegativeButton("Cancel", null);
adb.setTitle("Which one?");
adb.show();

See the dialogs doc, section Adding a list.

I suggest that you make it like this adb.setSingleChoiceItems(items, -1, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() – Abdulaziz Noor Apr 27 '15 at 06:40
1

if you give -1, none of the items selected at beginning. – Muzaffer Jun 16 '16 at 11:02

You Should Use following code to select single item. This is working code

CharSequence colors[] = new CharSequence[]{"View PDF", "Reduce Size", "Delete PDF", "Share PDF"};

            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
            builder.setTitle("Select Option");
            builder.setItems(colors, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    Log.e("value is", "" + which);
                    switch (which) {
                        case 0:
                            break;
                        case 1:
                            break;
                        case 2:
                            break;
                        case 3:
                            break;
                    }
                }
            });
            builder.show();
