AlertDialog's items not displayed

Question

I create an AlertDialog with an AlertDialog.Builder and set some items with setItems(). The dialog is shown but I cannot see any of the items. All I see is the message.

final CharSequence[] items = {"Red", "Green", "Blue"};

AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
dialogBuilder.setMessage("Pick a color");
dialogBuilder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {        
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        // Do anything you want here
    }    
});

dialogBuilder.create().show();

If I set the PositiveButton, I can see that button just fine. I also tried setting MultiChoiceItems and SingleChoiceItems but neither of these work either.

Answer 1

try this

final CharSequence[] items = {"Red", "Green", "Blue"};
AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
dialogBuilder.setTitle("Pick a color");
dialogBuilder.setSingleChoiceItems(items,-1, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) 
{
}
});
dialogBuilder.show();

Answer 2

Use Below Code:-

final CharSequence[] items = {"Red", "Green", "Blue"};
AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
dialogBuilder.setTitle("Pick a color");
dialogBuilder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        // Do anything you want here
    }

});
dialogBuilder.create().show();

Answer 3

Use setTitle instead of setMessage which sets message body and overrides the items list.

Answer 4

Try alertDialogBuilder.setCustomTitle(view)

Answer 5

If you are using a resource string array you must include the resource packaging. context().getResources().getStringArray(R.array.items);

My list was not showing by using the R.array.items until i gave the pointer the context and resource packaging.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Why don't you go for setTitle instead of the setMessage? Try with setTitle("Pick a color").

I hope it will help you.
