Change

LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(context);

to

LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(arg0.getContext());

and change

AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);

to

AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(arg0.getContext());

Your context variable is null because you initialize it before the Activity is created. And you don't need to create a context variable inside of an Activity. If, for whatever reason (maybe its simplicity) you want to use the variable then declare it where you are but initialize it inside of onCreate()

Also, inside the onClick() signature, I would change the variable name to something meaningful but that's not required. Like chanig

public void onClick(View arg0)

to

public void onClick(View v)

Edit

You also need to change these lines

EditText username = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txt_name);
EditText password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password);

to

EditText username = (EditText) dialog_layoutView.findViewById(R.id.txt_name);
EditText password = (EditText) dialog_layoutView.findViewById(R.id.password);

This will tell them to look in dialog_layout. Currently they are looking in the layout that you inflated with setContentView()
