Title Body

I am working on my first Android application, and am trying to style my activity. Ultimately, I would like for my activity to look the same as a dialog. I have given all my activities the Theme.Dialog style using the following code in my AndroidManifest.xml : <application android:icon="@drawable/group" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"> </application> This gives my activities the "floating" appearance and the borders of a dialog, but not the styled title. The title just has the same color and appearance as the general dialog background, not the "header" background and border as in a "real" dialog. Notice how in both examples the header has a nice border under it and in the second one, it has a gradient background. Is there a way to make sure the title on my activity somehow inherits the system dialog title so as to effectively replicate the look of a dialog for my activity - in addition to the border and "float" which comes with the Theme.Dialog style? Note that I do not want to call my activity as a dialog from another, I just want it to LOOK like a dilaog, even when it is loaded in response to an intent as per my manifest's intent-filters. ADD: Is there perhaps some way I can have my activity, when it spins up in onCreate() , call some method to turn itself into an actual dialog? Keep in mind the activity still needs to be able to respond to intents from the system.
