                                }
                            })

try this method in your class:

 public static void showAlert(Activity activity) {


    new AlertDialog.Builder(activity)
                        .setTitle("Delete entry")
                        .setMessage("Are you sure you want to delete this entry?")
                        .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                                // continue with delete
                            }
                        })
                        .setNegativeButton(android.R.string.no, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                                // do nothing
                            }
                        })
                        .setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
                        .show();
}

Do it like this

 private Handler mHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());

 @Override
    public void run() {
       // ...
       mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
          public void run() {
              // Create your AlertDialog Here...
          }
       });
       // ...
     }
