[android-developers] Re: Why is DialogPreference abstract?

First of all, DialogPreference is not meant to show a normal dialog
anyway. This is used in Preferences.

I would suggest that you extend the Dialog class. That should help you
in all ways to show your license. You can customize the layout,
buttons, title etc.
