AccentAlertDialog doesn't work without message

[Marius Volkhart]

When creating a AccentAlertDialog without a message, the divider does not get painted.

Code causing problem:

AlertDialog dialog = new AccentAlertDialog.Builder(getActivity())
        .setTitle(R.string.prompt_confirm)
        .setPositiveButton(R.string.button_yes_delete, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                // Do stuff
            }
        })
        .setNegativeButton(R.string.prompt_no, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                // Do stuff
            }
        })
        .show();
new DividerPainter(getActivity()).paint(dialog.getWindow());

The activity is an AccentFragmentActivity as per the Wiki.

Adding a message solves the problem.

Indeed, the divider shouldn't be there at all. I guess that if you use AlertDialog in stead of AccentAlertDialog, you will have no divider at all. Did you try that?

I did and it still has the header when used with the AccentActivity. This happens both w/ and without the explicit use of the DividerPainter.

However, when using the normal AlertDialog with a normal activity, it also has the divider across the top, so it's "supposed" to be there, though this might be a framework issue. I'd say that this issue can be closed.

I agree, it seems like it is a platform "issue". Well, I actually think that we are just not supposed to display a dialog without any content.

If you absolutely want this effect, you can add a textview as the dialog content and format it to meet your needs.

In any case, I think we can close the issue. In my opinion it falls out of the scope of this library.
