[Dialog] Icon isn't where the specs say about material-components-android HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @beatrizz!

Thanks so much for filing an issue.

I'm sure you're aware but you can create the center stacked dialog by either overriding your theme's materialAlertDialogTheme attribute to ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.MaterialAlertDialog.Centered or create one-off centered dialogs by passing in the theme overlay to MaterialAlertDialogBuilder's constructor.

I doubt we will make the theme use centered dialogs by default as it would be a large breaking visual change at this point, but I will bring it up and see what the team thinks.

Thanks @hunterstich! I wasn't aware and we'll use that. We were trying to work around it with a custom title view.

From the specs, I thought the centered icon was now the default. If default dialogs stay as they are, I think it'd be useful if you could update the specs to show the default dialog (or both styles!) to avoid confusion, but it's of course up to the team. I see the attribute is documented as "Centered theme overlay" but I wasn't able to work out that it'd put the icon above the title from that description. An image or a more detailed explanation would also help there.

Thanks!
