How to display AlertDialog and selection in Alert Dialog and selection with radio buttons with example?

We are going to see the Alert Dialog in detail.

First we going to see how to use a normal AlertDialog

The below code is enough to call AlertDialog,

Java

AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(ShowDialog.this);

alert.setTitle("This is Alert Dialog");
alert.setMessage("Sample alert dialog from http://www.android-codes-examples.blogspot.com");
alert.setIcon(R.drawable.icon);
alert.setPositiveButton("Yes",
 new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
  public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
   Toast.makeText(ShowDialog.this, "Success", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }
 });
alert.setNegativeButton("No",
 new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
  public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
   Toast.makeText(ShowDialog.this, "Fail", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }
 });

alert.show();

Next we are going to see how to call a AlertDialog with ListView for selection purpose

Java

final CharSequence[] items = {"India", "US", "UK", "Australia"};

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(ShowDialog.this);
builder.setTitle("Alert Dialog with ListView");
builder.setIcon(R.drawable.icon);
builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
 Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), items[item], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();

alert.show();

Next we are going to see how to call a AlertDialog with ListView with Radio button for selection purpose

Java

final CharSequence[] items = {"India", "US", "UK", "Australia"};

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(ShowDialog.this);
builder.setTitle("Alert Dialog with ListView and Radio button");
builder.setIcon(R.drawable.icon);
builder.setSingleChoiceItems(items, -1, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
 Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), items[item], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
});

builder.setPositiveButton("Yes",
 new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
  public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
   Toast.makeText(ShowDialog.this, "Success", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }
 });
builder.setNegativeButton("No",
 new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
  public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
   Toast.makeText(ShowDialog.this, "Fail", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }
 });
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();

A sample with all the three examples of alertdialog is follows:

ShowDialog.java

package com.display.dialog;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class ShowDialog extends Activity {
/** http://www.android-codes-examples.blogspot.com/ */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.main);
 Button alert = (Button) findViewById(R.id.alert);
 Button customList = (Button) findViewById(R.id.customList);
 Button customListRadio = (Button) findViewById(R.id.customListRadio);
 
 alert.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

 @Override
 public void onClick(View v) {
  AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(ShowDialog.this);

  alert.setTitle("This is Alert Dialog");
  alert
    .setMessage("Sample alert dialog from http://www.android-codes-examples.blogspot.com");
  alert.setIcon(R.drawable.icon);
  alert.setPositiveButton("Yes",
    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
     public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
      Toast.makeText(ShowDialog.this, "Success", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
     }
    });
  alert.setNegativeButton("No",
    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
     public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
      Toast.makeText(ShowDialog.this, "Fail", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
     }
    });

  alert.show();
 }
 });
 
 customList.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

 @Override
 public void onClick(View v) {
  final CharSequence[] items = {"India", "US", "UK", "Australia"};

  AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(ShowDialog.this);
  builder.setTitle("Alert Dialog with ListView");
  builder.setIcon(R.drawable.icon);
  builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
      public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), items[item], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      }
  });
  AlertDialog alert = builder.create();

  alert.show();
 }
 });
 
 customListRadio.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

 @Override
 public void onClick(View v) {
  final CharSequence[] items = {"India", "US", "UK", "Australia"};

  AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(ShowDialog.this);
  builder.setTitle("Alert Dialog with ListView and Radio button");
  builder.setIcon(R.drawable.icon);
  builder.setSingleChoiceItems(items, -1, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
      public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), items[item], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
      }
  });
  
  builder.setPositiveButton("Yes",
    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
     public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
      Toast.makeText(ShowDialog.this, "Success", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
     }
    });
  builder.setNegativeButton("No",
    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
     public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
      Toast.makeText(ShowDialog.this, "Fail", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
     }
    });
  AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
  alert.show();
 }
 });
}
}

Likewise for multiple choice in the alertdialog we need to use this line

Java

new DialogInterface.OnMultiChoiceClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton,
     boolean isChecked) {
          /** ... */
    }
});
