unfortunately there seems to be no straight forward API way. however this is my idea of more of a custom solution: [Update while typing: Rajdeeps solution sounds reasonable, try this first ;-) If it doesn't help, try this one.]

create a custom AlertDialog layout with your button and add it to your AlertDialog with

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) this.getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.yourlayout,(ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.yourLayoutsOuterLinearLayout));
builder.setView(view);

the layout can look something like that:

<LinearLayout
  android:id="@+id/yourLayoutsOuterLinearLayout"
  android:layout_height:...>
  <Button
    android:id="@+id/myButton"
    android:...>
  </Button>
</LinearLayout>

Use getButton() on the AlertDialog to get hold of the underlying ok button

Button mOkButton = helpDialog1.getButton();
mOkButton.setEnabled(false)`
