How to open a dialog when I click a button?

I have a button and I would like to open a dialog when pressed. This is my code:

Button more = (Button) findViewById(R.id.more);
more.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View view) {
        //Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), agones.class);
        //startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);

        AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
        alertDialog.setTitle("hi");
        alertDialog.setMessage("this is my app");

        alertDialog.setButton("Continue..", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            // here you can add functions
        }
        });
    }
});

Aman Alam's souliton is good, but the .setButton() part gave me an error. So I implemented it in kotlin and fixed the error.

Kotlin

    val dialog = AlertDialog.Builder(this)

    dialog.setTitle("Title")
          .setMessage("Write your message here.")
          .setPositiveButton("YES") { dialog, whichButton ->
               // DO YOUR STAFF
          }
         .setNegativeButton("NO") { dialog, whichButton ->
               // DO YOUR STAFF 
               // dialog.close()
          }

    dialog.show()

The result of the code

            final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

            builder.setMessage("this is message");
            builder.setTitle("this is title");

            //Setting message manually and performing action on button click
            builder.setMessage("Do you want to close this application ?");T
            //This will not allow to close dialogbox until user selects an option
            builder.setCancelable(false);
            builder.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                            Toast.makeText(this, "positive button", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            //builder.finish();
                        }
                    });
             builder.setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                            //  Action for 'NO' Button
                            Toast.makeText(this, "negative button", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            dialog.cancel();
                        }
                    });

            //Creating dialog box
            AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
            //Setting the title manually
            //alert.setTitle("AlertDialogExample");
            alert.show();

As @Roflcoptr has said, you haven't called alertDialog.show() method. thus your dialog doesn't appear.

Here's your edited code:

Button more = (Button) findViewById(R.id.more);
more.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View view) {
        //Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), agones.class);
        //startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);


        AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(<YourActivityName>this).create(); //Read Update
        alertDialog.setTitle("hi");
        alertDialog.setMessage("this is my app");

        alertDialog.setButton("Continue..", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
           public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
              // here you can add functions
           }
        });

        alertDialog.show();  //<-- See This!
    }

});

if you write this instead of <ActivityName>.this, then it is going to take the reference of View.OnClickListener since this is currently being accessed inside it. You need to give your Activity's name there.

Your dialog isn't displayed, because you don't call AlertDialog#show.
