How to set the title of DialogFragment?

Issue

This should be a simple task, but for some reason I can find a way to set the title of a DialogFragment. (I am setting the dialog contents using onCreateView overload).

The default style leaves a place for the title, but I can’t find any method on the DialogFragment class to set it.

The title is somehow magically set when the onCreateDialog method is used to set the contents, so I wonder if this is by design, or there is a special trick to set it when using the onCreateView overload.

Solution

You can use getDialog().setTitle("My Dialog Title")

Just like this:

public static class MyDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
    ...
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Set title for this dialog
        getDialog().setTitle("My Dialog Title");

        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mydialog, container, false);
        // ...
        return v;
    }
    // ...
}
