Issue setting AlertDialog

I am trying to display an AlertDialog, but I get a compile error of (ambiguous) on the following line:

alertDialog.setButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE, "OK", null);

How should I set the button?

Based on the android reference from this link

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlertDialog.html,

you can see that that there are two methods for setButton with different parameters

1) 

public void setButton (int whichButton, CharSequence text, DialogInterface.OnClickListener listener)

and

2) 

public void setButton (int whichButton, CharSequence text, Message msg)

so compiler does not know which of these methods you want as you pass a null as the third parameter so it throws an ambiguous compiler error.

Try to pass this as the third parameter if you want it to be null: (DialogInterface.OnClickListener) null

Or you can use the dedicated methods setPositiveButton() and setNegativeButton() of alertDialog.

 AlertDialog.Builder mAlertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this.activity);

                mAlertDialogBuilderTablet.setTitle("put your title here")
                        .setMessage("put your question here")
                        .setCancelable(false)
                        .setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)                          {                                      
                                Log.i(TAG,"clicked YES");
                            }
                        })
                        .setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                                Log.i(TAG,"clicked NO");
                            }
                        });
                AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilderTablet.create();
                alertDialog.show();

            AlertDialog.Builder dlgAlert  = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
        dlgAlert.setMessage(getResources().getString(R.string.err_connection));
        dlgAlert.setTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.err_connection_header));
        dlgAlert.setPositiveButton(getResources().getString(R.string.ok),
            new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
