Hello everyone today I added a new feature to DIC Mobile and I though I should share some of the code with you guys. Today im going to be sharing how to create custom dialogs!

NOTE: This is not meant to be a tutorial! Its just to show whats going on under the hood of the app! If anyone wants me to write a tutorial on custom dialogs or anything don't hesitate to ask .

This what the result looks like:


how to initialize the dialog

if(user.comments.size()>0)
	new CommentDialog(this).showComments(user.comments,user);

comment.xml
