                dilog.setNegativeButton("ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override

            break;

        }

Answer 1

You create your Dialog and set its data inside onCreateDialog().
The system calls this if it does not have an object for the supplied dialog id.
Once created, this never gets called again. You have to modify the existing dialog with the newest data inside Activity.onPrepareDialog(). That warning is not important, you can ignore it.
