As far as you probably know there is difference in order of positive and negative buttons for AlertDialog on pre-ICS and post-ICS devices:
- on devices prior to ICS, the button order (left to right) was POSITIVE - NEUTRAL - NEGATIVE.
- on newer devices using ICS, the button order (left to right) is now NEGATIVE - NEUTRAL - POSITIVE.
However the order is not guaranteed to be as listed above for post-ICS devices. Some manufactures ignore button order reversing.
If you want to see one order on all devices nomatter of Android firmware version, you can use FixedOrderDialogFragment.
Please note that owner Activity should implement FixedOrderDialogFragment.FixedOrderDialogListener to be able restore dialog state on Activity re-creation.
Left screenshot was made from Android 2.2 emulator and right one is from Nexus 4 device with Android 4.2.2.
Here is an example of dialog creation and showing:
new FixedOrderDialogFragment.Builder()
.setLeftButtonText(R.string.left)
.setCenterButtonText(R.string.center)
.setRightButtonText(R.string.right)
.setDefaultButton(FixedOrderDialogFragment.BUTTON_RIGHT)
.setMessage(R.string.message)
.setTitle(R.string.app_name)
.create()
.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), "DEMO");
There is release made to provide binary to see how code works: https://github.com/StevenRudenko/FixedOrderDialog/releases/tag/v1.0
