Answer 1

You can get the Dialog returned from method "show()" alertBuidler.

AlertDialog.Builder adb = new AlertDialog.Builder(YourActivity.this);
//...code to add methods setPositive an setNegative buttons

Call the "show()" method of "adb" and get Dialog

final AlertDialog dialog = adb.show();

So you can call any button of your dialog at any point of code in your activity:

dialog.getButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE).performClick();//or
dialog.getButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEGATIVE).performClick();//or
dialog.getButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEUTRAL).performClick();
