Android preference activity windowed and not full screen

1.2k Views Asked by At

I have a preference activity that does the norm addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences) & setContentView(R.layout.preferencelayout)... Everything works fine.

What I need to do is open that same preference screen as a window (like an alert dialog) and not a full screen.

Anyone know how?

EDIT: android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" Fixes this, but any custom preferences (in this case a slider) is not displayed any more.

EDIT2: android_hungry's response fixes this issue to a point. Custom preferences now work, but the suggestion below now makes a solid black background and not a true dialog look. For the time being, this works. Please post an answer so I can accept it for you.
