Question

How would I set up the onClickListener for a button inside an alertDialog?
Do I just use the onClick of the whole activity or do I make a new one inside the alertDialog builder?

EDIT: Sorry I didn’t make it clear first time but this isn’t for the positive/negative buttons. This is for a button within a custom xml.

Thanks in advance

If you are wanting a standard button to dismiss the dialog then @Sergio is correct. If you are using a custom xml layout:

Use the findViewById and attach a specific listener for that button. Using an activity wide click handler would cause you problems if you were to add another button.

Android docs shows this as:

final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_id);
     button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
         public void onClick(View v) {
             // Perform action on click
         }
     });
