how to set a custom list view into a dialog box

Question

I am developing a application which fetches some data from a web service and displays in a list view. I have implemented a custom adapter which is extended by BaseAdapter. In the getView() method I inflate the raw also.. Those are working perfectly.

My problem is I have implemented code to show a dialog box when user click on an list item, but now I want to show another dialog box which has a custom list inside it (when Yes button clicked). I also want to show some data in that listview. [I have a ArrayList filled with the data that I wanted] . I'm writing the code inside my adapter class. Can anyone give me some idea how to do it ?

This is my code:

public class NewsRowAdapter extends BaseAdapter  {


private Context mContext;
private Activity activity;
private static LayoutInflater inflater=null;
private ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> data;
int resource;
    //String response;
    //Context context;
    //Initialize adapter
    public NewsRowAdapter(Context ctx,Activity act, int resource,ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> d) {
        super();
        this.resource=resource;
        this.data = d;
        this.activity = act;
        this.mContext = ctx;
        inflater = (LayoutInflater)activity.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

    }


    public void dialogshow(final String Date,final String Start,final String End){

        AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
        alertDialogBuilder.setTitle("Confirm your Action!");

        // set dialog message
        alertDialogBuilder
            .setMessage("Click yes to exit!")
            .setCancelable(false)
            .setPositiveButton("Yes",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int id) {
                    // if this button is clicked, close
                    // current activity
                    //MainActivity.this.finish();

                //  Toast.makeText(mContext, "Yes clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                    //check similer records

                //  ShortList sh = new ShortList();

                //  ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> duplicateList; 
                //  duplicateList=sh.getDuplicated(Date, Start, End);


                    //if duplicates > 1 then show the popup list
            //      if(duplicateList.size()>1){
                    AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder2 = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);

                    LayoutInflater infl = activity.getLayoutInflater();




                    //View vi = infl.inflate(id, root)





                    alertDialogBuilder2.setView(infl.inflate(R.layout.dialog_row, null))
                    .setPositiveButton("Accept", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                                @Override
                                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                                    Toast.makeText(mContext, "Accepted", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                }
                            })
                            .setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

CUSTOM DIALOG BOX WITH CUSTOM LISTVIEW ::: public class MainActivity extends Activity {

You are on the right track, Here is what i used to dynamically display a Dialog with a list of items in it.

For reference a similar Question was asked here : Android custom list dialog

    //String[] list_data; Preloaded with a String array

    final CharSequence[] items = new CharSequence[list_data.length];

            for (int i = 0; i < list_data.length; i++) {
               items[i] = list_data[i];
            }

    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    builder.setTitle("Select the data you want");
    builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            //Get the id of the item
            diag_callback();

        }

    });

    AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
    alert.show();

}

public void diag_callback() {
    //Do someting when the user has made his selection
}

Hope this sorts out your problem.

For your concern I hope that you know creating customized list view.

Fallow undermentioned code that contains customized dialog with customized list view. I hope you can perform Adapter and model part by your's

 final Dialog new_dialog = new Dialog(getParent());
 new_dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
 new_dialog.setContentView(R.layout.customize_dialog_list_view);
 new_dialog.setCancelable(false);
 cuc = new CommanUtilityClass();
 SharedPreferences sp = getSharedPreferences("provider",0);
   String services = sp.getString("services","");
   Log.i("Servicesss",bAllServices);

   TextView service = (TextView) new_dialog.findViewById(R.id.cdlv_service_provider);
   TextView hour = (TextView) new_dialog.findViewById(R.id.cdlv_working_hours);

   TextView appointment_time = (TextView) new_dialog.findViewById(R.id.cdlv_appoint_time);
   TextView appointment_date = (TextView) new_dialog.findViewById(R.id.cdlv_appoint_date);

   String[] ampm = myTiming[which].split(":");

   Log.d("xxxooo", ampm[0]);

   appointment_time.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>Appointment time :</b>" + myTimingToShow[which].split("/")[0]));
   appointment_date.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>Appointment date :</b>" + selected));

   service.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>Service provider :</b>"+ cuc.toTheUpperCase(bsp_name)));

   hour.setText(Html.fromHtml("<b>Working hours :</b>"+ cuc.toTheUpperCase(bsp_availability)));

   lv = (ListView) new_dialog.findViewById(R.id.cdlv_list);

   CustomDialogArrayAdapter cdaa = new CustomDialogArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext(),m_ArrayList);

   lv.setAdapter(cdaa);

   new_dialog.show();

   ImageButton btn_cdlv_cancel = (ImageButton) new_dialog.findViewById(R.id.cdlv_cancel);

   btn_cdlv_cancel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                new_dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });

   lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(
            AdapterView<?> arg0,
            View arg1,
            int arg2,
            long arg3) {

        Log.d("checkforbookedslots", booked_slots);

        final_time_selected = myTiming[which];
        String final_duration = m_ArrayList.get(arg2).provider_service_duration;
        Log.d("adiadicheck", check_for_booking_list);
        if (checkOverlapSlot(final_time_selected,final_duration)) {
            Log.d("gp","seven12aa");
            SharedPreferences sp = getSharedPreferences("booking_detail",0);
            SharedPreferences.Editor editor = sp.edit();
            editor.putString("provider_service",m_ArrayList.get(arg2).provider_service);
            editor.putString("provider_service_duration",m_ArrayList.get(arg2).provider_service_duration);
            editor.putString("provider_service_price",m_ArrayList.get(arg2).provider_service_price);
            editor.putString("service_id",m_ArrayList.get(arg2).provider_service_id);
            editor.commit();

            SessionManagement sm = new SessionManagement(getParent());
            // sm.checkLogin();

            if (sm.isLoggedIn()) {
                Log.d("viv2","1");
                Intent edit = new Intent(SelectedService.this,UserLoggedActivity.class);
                TabGroupActivity parentActivity = (TabGroupActivity) getParent();
                parentActivity.startChildActivity("UserLoggedActivity",edit);
            } else {
                Log.d("viv2","2");
                Intent edit = new Intent(SelectedService.this,UserNoLoggedActivity.class);
                TabGroupActivity parentActivity = (TabGroupActivity) getParent();
                parentActivity.startChildActivity("UserNoLoggedActivity",edit);
            }
            new_dialog.dismiss();
        }
    }
   });
