Question

I've managed to create a custom listview dialog based on the answers of this Stackoverflow question.how-to-display-list-view-in-alert-dialog-in-android

Here's an image of my dialog custom listview. enter image description here

I'm having an issue of how do I retrieve the user input if the user selects "Edit Post" / "Delete Post" respectively?Is there an OnClickListener for Dialog and how do I go about implementing it?Thank you :)

mainListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position, long id) {

            // Do things that use the position or 
            // the view content to understand user input

        }
    });

I don't think you have to define the dialog view as listview in your dialog. Just create a simple layout file as following:

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_marginRight="100dp"
    android:layout_gravity="right">

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/edit"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:paddingTop="10dp"
    android:paddingBottom="10dp"
    android:paddingRight="120dp"
    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textColor="@color/white"
    android:background="@drawable/selector_option_menu"
    android:text="EditPost"/>

<View
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="1dp"
    android:background="@color/white"
    />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/delete"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:paddingTop="10dp"
    android:paddingBottom="10dp"
    android:paddingRight="120dp"
    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:textColor="@color/white"
    android:background="@drawable/selector_option_menu"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Delete Post"/>
</LinearLayout>

Create a custom dialog class that extends Dialog class as following and bind onclick listener in onCreate() mehtod:

public class MyDialog extends Dialog {

Context context;
public MyDialog(Context context) {
    super(context);
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    this.context = context;
}
public MyDialog(Context context, int theme){
    super(context, theme);
    this.context = context;
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.setContentView(R.layout.dialog);

    findViewById(R.id.edit).setOnClickListener(...);
    findViewById(R.id.delte).setOnClickListener(...);
}
}

hope this will help.

 listview.setOnItemClickListener(new  OnItemClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
                        long arg3) {

                     builder.setSingleChoiceItems(items,0,
                             new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int which) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            deger= which;
                                }
                  })
                   // Set the action buttons
                  .setPositiveButton("Editpost", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                      @Override
                      public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                          //  Your code when user clicked on

                      }
                  })

                  .setNegativeButton("delet post", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                      @Override
                      public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                         //    Your code when user clicked on

                      }
                  });

                }

            });

You could always use a context menu which does the same thing.

First of all register a listener on your ListView:

registerForContextMenu(myListView);

Set up your context menu options:

       @Override  
    public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v,ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {  
    super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);  
    if (v==myLIstView)
    {
        menu.setHeaderTitle("Optional title");
        menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0,"Edit post"); 
        menu.add(0, v.getId(), 0,"Delete post");
    }


    }

Capture and do something with the result:

    @Override
public boolean onContextItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    AdapterContextMenuInfo info = (AdapterContextMenuInfo) item.getMenuInfo();
    long num= info.id;
    if(item.getTitle()=="Edit post")
    {
        edit a post
    }
    else if(item.getTitle()=="Delete post"){
        delete a post
    }

    }
    return super.onContextItemSelected(item);
}
