    builder.setMessage("Message!")
        .setTitle(this.dialogTitle)
        .setView(inflater.inflate(R.layout.numpad_dialog, null))
        .setPositiveButton(R.string.enter, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                // Clicked 'Okay'
            }
        })
        .setNegativeButton(R.string.dismiss, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                // Clicked 'Cancel'
            }
        });
    return builder.create();
}
