Icons in a List dialog
Here is a complete solution with an extended ArrayAdapter that allows icons.
See design notes for dialogs at http://developer.android.com/design/building-blocks/dialogs.html Iconogaphy at http://developer.android.com/design/style/iconography.html and IconPacks at http://developer.android.com/design/downloads/index.html
Note that the size for these looks pretty good at 48 x 48 dp, which isn't a bundled size, so you'll have to scale your own icon from the downloads.
USAGE:
@Override public void onClick(View v) { final String [] items = new String[] {"From Gallery", "From Camera"}; final Integer[] icons = new Integer[] {R.drawable.dialog_gallery_icon, R.drawable.dialog_camera_icon}; ListAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapterWithIcon(getActivity(), items, icons); new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity()).setTitle("Select Image") .setAdapter(adapter, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item ) { Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Item Selected: " + item, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } }).show(); }
ArrayAdapterWithIcon.java
public class ArrayAdapterWithIcon extends ArrayAdapter<String> {private List<Integer> images;public ArrayAdapterWithIcon(Context context, List<String> items, List<Integer> images) { super(context, android.R.layout.select_dialog_item, items); this.images = images;}public ArrayAdapterWithIcon(Context context, String[] items, Integer[] images) { super(context, android.R.layout.select_dialog_item, items); this.images = Arrays.asList(images);}public ArrayAdapterWithIcon(Context context, int items, int images) { super(context, android.R.layout.select_dialog_item, context.getResources().getTextArray(items)); final TypedArray imgs = context.getResources().obtainTypedArray(images); this.images = new ArrayList<Integer>() {{ for (int i = 0; i < imgs.length(); i++) {add(imgs.getResourceId(i, -1));} }}; // recycle the array imgs.recycle();}@Overridepublic View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent); TextView textView = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1); if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) { textView.setCompoundDrawablesRelativeWithIntrinsicBounds(images.get(position), 0, 0, 0); } else { textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(images.get(position), 0, 0, 0); } textView.setCompoundDrawablePadding( (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 12, getContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics())); return view;}}
make the custom view like we create for the list view
alert_customlist.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="10dp" android:background="#ffffffff"> <ImageView android:layout_width="50dp" android:layout_height="50dp" android:textColor="#ffff0000" android:textSize="20dp" android:id="@+id/text1"/> <TextView android:text="text view two" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="#ffff0000" android:textSize="20dp" android:id="@+id/text2"/></LinearLayout>
now add this view into the AlertDialog.
