Answer 1

Move all the code of the builder outside of the onCreateDialog method.

For instance here is the Android Dialogs guide updated :

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
builder.setMessage(R.string.dialog_fire_missiles)
    .setPositiveButton(R.string.fire, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
         public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
             // Send the positive button event back to the host activity
             mListener.onDialogPositiveClick(NoticeDialogFragment.this);
         }
    })
    .setNegativeButton(R.string.cancel, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
            // Send the negative button event back to the host activity
            mListener.onDialogNegativeClick(NoticeDialogFragment.this);
        }
    });

final Dialog dialog = builder.create();

DialogFragment fragment = new DialogFragment {
    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Build the dialog and set up the button click handlers
        return dialog;
    }
};
fragment.show();

// and later ...
fragment.show();
