Show AlertDialog on top of another AlertDialog

I'm taking some personal details from user in a form which is actually a custom Alertdialog. Now when user presses Submit button present within the Alertdialog, if there is an validation error; I'm trying to display another Alertdialog with error message like Please Enter First Name.

What is happening is when 2nd Alertdialog is being displayed due to a validation error, the main Alertdialog (registration form) gets disappeared.

Any reason what might me causing this. Any help appreciated.

Edit

Please note that I have considered setError but I also have some other views like Spinner, RadioButton in my layout. So just using setError for EditText is not whole solution for my problem.

If displaying another dialog on the existing dialog is your Application's requirement then, i would recommend you to create a new activity just for displaying that custom alert dialog. Add that activity to your Manifest and set the theme to "@android:style/Theme.Dialog".

<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" android:name="LocationDialog"> </activity>

and onClick listener of your Dialog Interface just start the dialog activity for displaying the validation error.

 public void onClick(DialogInterface arg0, int arg1) {
         Intent errorDialog = new Intent(YourActivity.this, ErrorDialogActivity.class);
         startActivity(errorDialog);
  }

you can make the validation before dismissing the dialogue and setErrorText on the edittexts, so it is visible to the user, without leaving the view.
