You can also create custom alert dialog by creating an xml file.

dialoglayout.xml

The Java Code:

@Override//to popup alert dialog
public void onClick(View arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    showDialog(DIALOG_LOGIN);
});


@Override
protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    AlertDialog dialogDetails = null;

    switch (id) {
        case DIALOG_LOGIN:
            LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
            View dialogview = inflater.inflate(R.layout.dialoglayout, null);
            AlertDialog.Builder dialogbuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
            dialogbuilder.setTitle("Title");
            dialogbuilder.setView(dialogview);
            dialogDetails = dialogbuilder.create();
            break;
    }
    return dialogDetails;
}

@Override
protected void onPrepareDialog(int id, Dialog dialog) {
    switch (id) {
        case DIALOG_LOGIN:
             final AlertDialog alertDialog = (AlertDialog) dialog;
             Button loginbutton = (Button) alertDialog
                .findViewById(R.id.btn_login);
             Button cancelbutton = (Button) alertDialog
                .findViewById(R.id.btn_cancel);
             userName = (EditText) alertDialog
                .findViewById(R.id.dialog_txt_name);
             loginbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                  @Override
                  public void onClick(View v) {
                      String name = userName.getText().toString();
                      Toast.makeText(Activity.this, name,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
             });
             cancelbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                      @Override
                      public void onClick(View v) {
                           alertDialog.dismiss();
                      }
             });
             break;
   }
}
