Answer 1

It is a little difficult to read the entire code, but I will show you how to display an AlertDialog from a background Thread:

Create a handler inside onCreate(), or onResume()... something that runs on the UI-Thread:

...onCreate(){
      //...
      mHandler=new Handler();
}

Then inside your Thread() just use:

mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
    public void run(){
        //Be sure to pass your Activity class, not the Thread
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MyActivity.this);
        //... setup dialog and show
    }
});

Answer 2

new Handler().post(new Runnable{
 public void run(){

   //create your AlertDialog here.. 
  }

});

Answer 3

     runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                     public void run() {

                              //your alert dialog here..

                    }
                });
