How to set Single Choice Items inside AlertDialog?

I haven't been able to set a Single Choice list, or a Multiple Choice List inside an AlertDialog.

I tried following the examples but I only get a Dialog with a Title, the Ok and Cancel buttons, and no list, and NO message (which I set!).

Here is the code:

    protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {
    switch (id) {
    case DIALOG_DELETE_CITY:
        CharSequence[] array = {"Red", "Blue", "Yellow"}; 
        return new AlertDialog.Builder(ShowPypData.this)
            .setTitle(R.string.city_actions_delete_label)
            .setMessage(R.string.city_actions_delete_select_label)
            .setSingleChoiceItems(array, -1, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                    }
                })
            .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                }

            })
            .setNegativeButton(android.R.string.cancel, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                    dialog.dismiss();

                }
            }).create();
    default:
        return null;
    }

}

The weird thing is that if I comment the setSingleChoiceItems part, I can see the message on the dialog.

Seems that Buttons, Message and Multiple choice items are mutually exclusive. Try to comment out setMessage(), setPositiveButton() and setNegativeButton(). Didn't check it myself.

this code works for me

 final CharSequence[] charSequence = new CharSequence[] {"As Guest","I have account here"};

        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
        builder.setTitle("Buy Now")
                //.setMessage("You can buy our products without registration too. Enjoy the shopping")
                .setSingleChoiceItems(charSequence, 0, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        utility.toast(" "+charSequence);
                    }
                })
        .setPositiveButton("Go", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });
        builder.create().show()
