Answer 1

You can use a custom alert dialog. With this approach you will have more control over the alert dialog:

Answer 2

What i would do is create a linear layout and then add the text views to the linear layout and then add the linear layout to the dialog.

LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
layout.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));

for (int i =0; i<20; i++) {
            // Set an EditText view to get user input 
            final TextView input = new TextView(context);
            input.setText("" + i);
            input.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);
            input.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override 
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    String srt = "clickd";
                    Toast.makeText(context, srt, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                } 
            }); 
layout.addView(input); 

then

alert.setView(layout);
