Custom ListView In A Dialog

i have a list view , inside this list when click on an item of it ,it will show a custom list inside a dialog box the dialog shows up but its only shows the title of the dialog

Solution 1:

You need to use AlertDialog.Builder -

Refer this- Docs

Edit -

new AlertDialog.Builder(MyActivity.this)
                    .setAdapter(yourListAdapter, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                        @Override
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                         //TODO - Code when list item is clicked (int which - is param that gives you the index of clicked item)
                        }
                    })
                    .setPositiveButton("Okay", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

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

                        }
                    })
                    .setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                        @Override
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        }
                    })
                    .setTitle("Dialog Title")
                    .setCancelable(false)
                    .show();

Solution 2:

@Vishal is right, you needs to use AlertDialog if you needs to inflate view inside your dialog. Here's the example code. Tried the code below.

public void showDialog(){
    AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(getContext());     
    dialog.setTitle("List of likers");
    dialog.setCancelable(true);

    View view = ((Activity)getContext()).getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.likers_list, null); 

    dbobj = new DataBaseHandler(getContext());
    likeItems=dbobj.select_HowlikeComment();
    dbobj.CloseDataBase();


    ListView list = (ListView) view.findViewById(R.id.ListLikersList);
    LikersCustomeAdapter adapter= new LikersCustomeAdapter(getContext(), R.layout.likerscustomelist, likeItems);

    list.setAdapter(adapter);

    dialog.setView(view);
    dialog.show();
}
