I am struggling around with this problem for quite a long time. I searched for solutions and there were actually some suggestions for related problems, but nothing really worked correctly for me. So let's say I want to create an AlertDialog with a (long) message, a checkbox and two buttons. // create dialog AlertDialog.Builder dlg = new AlertDialog.Builder(this); dlg.setTitle(R.string.dlg_title); dlg.setMessage(R.string.dlg_msg); // add checkbox final CheckBox checkbox = new CheckBox(this); dlg.setView(checkbox); // add buttons dlg.setPositiveButton(...); dlg.setNegativeButton(...); // show dialog dlg.show(); This won't work , because if the dialog message becomes too long, the checkbox will not be completely shown. Additionally, it is going to be completely hidden in landscape mode. Next try would be to lookup the original dialog layout file (for me it is located under android-sdk-linux_86/platforms/android-17/data/res/layout/alert_dialog.xml) and attempt to copy the relevant part to create our own "clone" of the inner dialog layout, just like this: dialog_checkbox.xml <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" android:orientation="vertical" > <ScrollView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:overScrollMode="ifContentScrolls" android:paddingBottom="12dip" android:paddingLeft="14dip" android:paddingRight="10dip" android:paddingTop="2dip" > <TextView android:id="@+id/message" style="?android:at
