Custom AlertDialog.Builder positive and negative buttons not showing

Question

Hello I followed every tutorial in Stack Overflow and YouTube anyways once I got to display my RecyclerView then I needed to accomplish other things with no problem at all. Anyways my only problem is that the positive button and the negative buttons disappeared. I assume that the problem might be that the things I have done in my XML is overlapping with the buttons in the view but I only have 3 items in the RecyclerView, so this is my big doubt. I made the dialog in an onLongClick then I added a RecyclerView method to get the position and the data present in the row that's why I cant call the alertDialog.setPositiveButton() in another place. This is quite a challenge would be appreciated to get some help in this.

This is my XML

            alertDialog.show();


        }
    }));

Appreciate if you don't answer if you don't know the correct answer or way to solve this.

Update: Android is gone crazy!!!.When I make the first onLongClick the alert dialog still doesn't work since I don't have a way to go back I click in the outside of the alert dialog and it disappears. Then I make another long Click and it works!!! this is very weird why does this happen????? nothing have changed.

Answer 1

use code like this,

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
    builder.setMessage(message);
    builder.setCancelable(false);
    builder.setPositiveButton(
            "Yes",
            new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                    dialog.cancel();

                }
            });

    builder.setNegativeButton(
            "No",
            new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                    dialog.cancel();

              }
            });

    AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
    alert.setOnShowListener(arg0 -> {
        alert.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEGATIVE).setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.RED));
        alert.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE).setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.RED));
    });
    alert.show();

Answer 2

I. Declare custom drawable.xml for dialog background.

android:insetLeft="16dp"
android:insetTop="16dp"
android:insetRight="16dp"
android:insetBottom="16dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
    <corners android:radius="2dp" />
    <solid android:color="@color/indigo" />
</shape>

II. Declare custom styles in your styles.xml file.

<!--buttons color-->
<item name="colorAccent">@color/pink</item>
<!--title and message color-->
<item name="android:textColorPrimary">@android:color/white</item>
<!--dialog background-->
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/drawable</item>

III. Create your dialog and use style as parameter in AlertDialog.Builder.

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this, R.style.MyDialogTheme);

AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();

dialog.show();
