Your buttons are inflate in addMenuLayout

btnSelect = (Button)addMenuLayout. findViewById(R.id.btn_select);
btnUpload = (Button)addMenuLayout. findViewById(R.id.btn_upload);

You have to find id by alert dialogue view because your view exists in the alert dialogue.

btn_one=(Button)addMenuLayout.findViewById(R.id.btn);

you have to do something like this.

Get the button from parent view.

Button btnSelect = (Button)addMenuLayout. findViewById(R.id.btn_select);
Button btnUpload = (Button)addMenuLayout. findViewById(R.id.btn_upload);
