Answer 1

Improved code for you :

    EditText name;
                name = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.name);
                String a = name.getText().toString();
AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
alertDialog.setTitle("something");
alertDialog.setMessage(name);
alertDialog.setNegativeButton("NO", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// here you can add functions
}
});
alertDialog.setIcon(R.drawable.icon);
alertDialog.show();

Try now again. If my answer was helpful, accept its please.
