Answer 1

Simplest of all would be.

• Create xml layout file for dialog . Add whatever view you want like EditText , ListView , Spinner etc.

  Inflate this view and set this to AlertDialog

Lets start with Layout file first.

final View view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.xml_file_created_above, null);
AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(ct).create();
alertDialog.setTitle("Your Title Here");
alertDialog.setIcon("Icon id here");
alertDialog.setCancelable(false);
Constant.alertDialog.setMessage("Your Message Here");


final EditText etComments = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.etComments);

alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE, "OK", new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

    }
});


alertDialog.setButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEGATIVE, "Cancel", new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        alertDialog.dismiss()
    }
});


alertDialog.setView(view);
alertDialog.show();
