Android Tutorial => Alert Dialog with Multi-line Title

Example

The setCustomTitle() method of AlertDialog.Builder lets you specify an arbitrary view to be used for the dialog title. One common use for this method is to build an alert dialog that has a long title.

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context, Theme_Material_Light_Dialog);
builder.setCustomTitle(inflate(context, R.layout.my_dialog_title, null))
       .setView(inflate(context, R.layout.my_dialog, null))
       .setPositiveButton("OK", null);

Dialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();

my_dialog_title.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent"
              android:padding="16dp">

    <TextView
        style="@android:style/TextAppearance.Small"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Curabitur
tincidunt condimentum tristique. Vestibulum ante ante, pretium porttitor
iaculis vitae, congue ut sem. Curabitur ac feugiat ligula. Nulla
tincidunt est eu sapien iaculis rhoncus. Mauris eu risus sed justo

        android:textStyle="bold"/>
