For some - unknown to me - reason, the dialog reference you get back from getDialog() isn't the one you want to work with when inside the listener. You need a reference to the dialog as provided you when you call builder.create();

For example:

    final AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
    list.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });
    return dialog;
