There is a very simple way to make dialog with custom layout: Please review the code below:

final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(MainActivity.this);
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_news_description);//Your custom layout
    TextView sometextview = dialog.findViewById(R.id.textView);// Textview in your custom layout
    Button somebutton = dialog.findViewById(R.id.button_done);// Button in your layout
    somebutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {//on button click listener
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            //DO your job.... 
            //then...
            dialog.dismiss();//dismiss the dialog
        }
    });
    dialog.show();

is there any thing that can be done like : dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(android.R.color.holo_purple); — mezohn adhikari, Jul 29 '18 at 04:54
Just create an xml with your creativity to get the input. and take the actions with `onClickListener` — Gourango Sutradhar, Jul 29 '18 at 04:56

You cannot change the default AlertDialog layout but you can inflate a custom layout to it. To start with you can check this post http://android-coding.blogspot.com/2011/07/create-custom-dialog-using.html

This is not true . Its very much customizable . – ADM Jul 29 '18 at 05:32
@ADM, then teach me how to. prove to me you can change the AlertDialog without inflating a layout or creating an extended view. Then i will downvote this answer. – Rashid Jul 30 '18 at 02:51
Already mentioned in comments above as possible duplicate. – ADM Jul 30 '18 at 03:49
@ADM it is still inflating a custom view. – Rashid Jul 30 '18 at 03:53
You see `dialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEGATIVE).setTextColor(COLOR_I_WANT);`. – ADM Jul 30 '18 at 04:07
