custom style on dialog checkbox
<p>I'm trying to style an AlertDialog to please a customer.  They like the Blue title bar on 
Theme.Holo.Light.Dialog but like the green checkboxes from another theme.
this is what I want to produce:</p>

<p>So, I've got a style definitions like this:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;style name="MyDialogTheme" parent="@android:Theme.Holo.Light.Dialog"&gt;
            &lt;item name="android:listChoiceIndicatorMultiple"&gt;@drawable/checkbox_green&lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/style&gt; 

&lt;style name="mycheckbox" parent="@android:style/Widget.CompoundButton.CheckBox"&gt;
    &lt;item name="android:button"&gt;@drawable/checkbox_box&lt;/item&gt;

&lt;/style&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>and I've got a definition for checkbox_green as follows which are just PNG files:
    
    </p>

<pre><code>&lt;item android:state_checked="false" 
    android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_unchecked" /&gt;

&lt;item android:state_checked="true" 
    android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_checked"/&gt;

&lt;/selector&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>and I create my dialog builder with a specific theme in Java like so:</p>

<pre><code> ContextThemeWrapper ctw = new ContextThemeWrapper( mContext, R.style.MyDialogTheme);
 AlertDialog.Builder builder= new AlertDialog.Builder( ctw );
</code></pre>

<p>But I cannot get the dialog to display green checkboxes instead of the blue in this theme.
I get this:
<img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/DHcvK.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

<p>I could go ahead and create an entire layout and then use that like this:</p>

<pre><code> AlertDialog shareDialog  = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext).create();
 LayoutInflater inflater = MainActivity.this.getLayoutInflater();

 View dialogView = null;
 dialogView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.share, (ViewGroup) getCurrentFocus());
 shareDialog.setView(dialogView);
</code></pre>

<p>but that requires styling all of the dialog, not just the checkboxes.It seems so much simpler to just re-style the checkboxes but I'm not able to make that work.</p>

<p>what must I do, other than to create a complete layout and use  to get the green checkboxes rather than the blue?</p>
