ListView in AlertDialog

Question

I am using a ListView in an AlertDialog to display a list of items. When the user clicks on one of the items, I want the dialog to close. I would not have any action buttons on the dialog. Any ideas on how I would accomplish this?

You can also see this sample of alert dialog with listview go here [for demo example](http://goo.gl/W3a4h) — Herry, Dec 06 '11 at 19:18

You should be able to do something like:

final CharSequence[] items = {"Foo", "Bar", "Baz"};

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle("Make your selection");
builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
         // Do something with the selection
    }
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();

This page has some other examples of different types of Dialogs.

just put dismiss() in the public void onClick() function will dismiss the dialog for you. – Yenchi Jun 23 '10 at 19:04

You can use a layout when popping an alert dialog.. It is easier to style it that way imo. For list in alert dialog you can do something like this

Used below code to display custom list in AlertDialog

AlertDialog.Builder builderSingle = new AlertDialog.Builder(
                    DialogActivity.this);
            builderSingle.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
            builderSingle.setTitle("Select One Name:-");
            final ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
                    DialogActivity.this,
                    android.R.layout.select_dialog_singlechoice);
            arrayAdapter.add("Hardik");
            arrayAdapter.add("Archit");
            arrayAdapter.add("Jignesh");
            arrayAdapter.add("Umang");
            arrayAdapter.add("Gatti");
            builderSingle.setNegativeButton("cancel",
                    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                        @Override
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                            dialog.dismiss();
                        }
                    });

            builderSingle.setAdapter(arrayAdapter,
                    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                        @Override
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                            String strName = arrayAdapter.getItem(which);
                            AlertDialog.Builder builderInner = new AlertDialog.Builder(
                                    DialogActivity.this);
                            builderInner.setMessage(strName);
                            builderInner.setTitle("Your Selected Item is");
                            builderInner.setPositiveButton("Ok",
                                    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                                        @Override
                                        public void onClick(
                                                DialogInterface dialog,
                                                int which) {
                                            dialog.dismiss();
                                        }
                                    });
                            builderInner.show();
                        }
                    });
            builderSingle.create();
            builderSingle.show();
