onclick code in my Main activity

FloatingActionButton fab =(FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
    fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            Dialog dialog = new Dialog(Main.this);
            dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
            dialog.setContentView(R.layout.about_dialog);
            dialog.show();


        }
    });

about_dialog :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/dialogLayout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@color/md_white_1000"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="rappage.rapfarsi.media.appteam.todaymusic.todaymusic">

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textViewAboutDialogTitle"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="24dp"
    android:text="About"
    android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Title"
    android:textColor="#DDD" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textViewAboutDialogDialog"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="24dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="24dp"
    android:text="@string/kingx"
    android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Subhead"
    android:textColor="#CCC" />


<TextView

    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_column="1"
    android:layout_marginBottom="24dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="24dp"
    android:layout_row="2"
    android:autoLink="web"
    android:text="MY SITE"
    android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Subhead"
    android:textColor="?attr/colorAccent"
    android:textColorLink="?attr/colorAccent"
    android:id="@+id/site" />

</LinearLayout>

todaymusic.java (the java file for about_dialog)

package rappage.rapfarsi.media.appteam.todaymusic;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.widget.TextView;

import rappage.rapfarsi.media.appteam.R;


public class todaymusic extends ActionBarActivity {

// Declaring Your View and Variables


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.about_dialog);

    Thread.currentThread().setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
    TextView tvsite =(TextView) findViewById(R.id.site);
int x=0;

if(x == 0)

{

tvsite.setText("yes its 0");

}


}



}

Thread.currentThread().setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY); what does this code do? — P-RAD, Aug 09 '15 at 17:16

In your main activity, you use

dialog.setContentView(R.layout.about_dialog);

That's the reason why your activity is never called and it always shows the content of your XML. If you want to display your dialog as an activity, don't instantiate your dialog on your listener but use startActivity(intent) to call your activity.

You can find a lot of tutorial on how to make a Dialog Activity on the Internet.

For example : Android: how to create a transparent dialog-themed activity

or How to create Dialog activity in Android?
