    alertDialog.setTitle("Delete Entry");
    alertDialog.setMessage("Are you sure you want to delete this entry?");
    alertDialog.setCancelable(false);

    alertDialog.setPositiveButton("Delete", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
           //code to delete entry
        }
    });

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

    dialog.show();
