Question

I have a code for dictionary application. If user click list item in the search box,i want to show dialog box with two buttons.. But i tested in emulator it won’t appear. I used following code for creating dictionary application.This is MainActivity calss only.

MyCode:

public class Shower extends Activity {
     private TextView mTextView;
        private ListView mListView;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_shower);

        mTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
        mListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);

        handleIntent(getIntent());
    }


    @Override
    protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
        // Because this activity has set launchMode="singleTop", the system calls this method
        // to deliver the intent if this actvity is currently the foreground activity when
        // invoked again (when the user executes a search from this activity, we don't create
        // a new instance of this activity, so the system delivers the search intent here)
        handleIntent(intent);
    }

    private void handleIntent(Intent intent) {
        if (Intent.ACTION_VIEW.equals(intent.getAction())) {
            // handles a click on a search suggestion; launches activity to show word
            Intent wordIntent = new Intent(this, WordActivity.class);
            wordIntent.setData(intent.getData());
            startActivity(wordIntent);
            finish();
        } else if (Intent.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(intent.getAction())) {
            // handles a search query
            String query = intent.getStringExtra(SearchManager.QUERY);
            showResults(query);
        }
    }

    /**
     * Searches the dictionary and displays results for the given query.
     * @param query The search query
     */
    private void showResults(String query) {

        Cursor cursor = managedQuery(DictionaryProvider.CONTENT_URI, null, null,
                                new String[] {query}, null);

        if (cursor == null) {
            // There are no results
            mTextView.setText(getString(R.string.no_results, new Object[] {query}));
        } else {
            // Display the number of results
            int count = cursor.getCount();
            String countString = getResources().getQuantityString(R.plurals.search_results,
                                    count, new Object[] {count, query});
            mTextView.setText(countString);

            // Specify the columns we want to display in the result
            String[] from = new String[] { DictionaryDatabase.KEY_WORD,
                                           DictionaryDatabase.KEY_DEFINITION };

            // Specify the corresponding layout elements where we want the columns to go
            int[] to = new int[] { R.id.word,

            mListView.setAdapter(words);

            // Define the on-click listener for the list items
            mListView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

Try this:

         AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(YourClassName.context).create();
    dialog.setTitle("");
    dialog.setMessage("");

   dialog.setIcon("");
  dialog.setButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE,"Open whatever", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
 public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated method stub 
Intent intent = new Intent(YourClassName.context, OtherClassName.class);
        //your code ....
                }   
                });

           dialog.show();


     return true;

      }
