Missing title padding after update of support:appcompat-v7

[johnjohndoe]

Recently, I updated the support:appcompat-v7 library in my app project. I noticed that the title header of the dialog looks odd after the update - as if some bottom padding is missing.

Dialog with support:appcompat-v7 20.0.0

Dialog with support:appcompat-v7 22.1.1

I was able to isolate the effect to the version increase. At this point in time I did not define any custom styling for the dialog in the application theme - at least to my knowledge :-)

Further, the gray background for the header and footer is not present for dialogs I created myself with v.22.1.1. I am not sure if this intended? I found issue #19 but it did not solve the problem for me to add custom CSS.

protected AlertDialog getDialog(boolean full) {

The code to create the dialog is not very fancy. I don't see how this could be caused by the library.

I could be a side effect of the support:appcompat-v7 library. Google might have misconfigured the styles for android.app.AlertDialog in v.22.1.1 while styles are okay for android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog.

I created issue #171512 in the Android issue tracker.

Sorry to necro this issue, but I should note that this issue still persists as of AppCompat v23.1.1. Looking at the issue @johnjohndoe opened on the Android issue tracker I saw the response:

@tobias : You need to set the content spacing using:

builder.setView(content, 0, dpToPx(16), 0, 0); // 16dp is the top padding for the tit

I can confirm that this does indeed resolve the issue. If you'd like, I could submit a PR.

@NateShoffner Please note that @cketti is working on a new version of the library which allows you to create the UI representation of the changelog yourself. Try out the version_2 branch.

@NateShoffner I use support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1 AlertDialogs quite extensively and often with just the convenience methods setTitle, setAdapter/setMessage, setButtons, etc but in these cases the top padding (or rather view spacing) cannot be specified. So unfortunately the setView method only solves a certain usage of the support AlertDialog
