Android AlertDialog in Activity Dialog.Theme

I am trying to create an AlertDialog like so:

Context context = AttributeDescription.this;
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(context);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
// Use the Builder class for convenient dialog construction
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
builder.setTitle("Add Extra");
final EditText base = new EditText(builder.getContext());
final EditText value = new EditText(builder.getContext());
base.setHint("Name");
value.setHint("Value");
// Specify the type of input expected; this, for example, sets the input as a password, and will mask the text
base.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
value.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
layout.addView(base);
layout.addView(value);
builder.setView(layout);
builder.setMessage("")
.setPositiveButton("Save", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
         public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {

         }
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
        // User cancelled the dialog
        }
});
// Create the AlertDialog object and return it
AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();

I keep getting You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity.

My manifest is:

android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"

I have the theme for the pop up that extends Activity. And the Activity that hosts the pop up extends Fragment, I am able to create AlertDialogs on the fragment, but I can't seem to open the AlertDialogon the pop up.

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

Check the theme you using for that Activity in style resource and change the parent theme to Theme.AppCompat.Light I.e

Or

remove this line from your activity in your manifest

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog"
