In android you can create following types of dialog :
AlertDialog
ProgressDialog
DatePickerDialog
TimePickerDialog

Apart from these you can also create your own custom dialog.

For alter Dialog you have to use class AlertDialog.

First you set properties of alert dialog by creating builder of dialog as:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

Now you can set some of properties of this builder by using some functions like setMessage(), setCancelable(),setPositiveButton(),setNegativeButton() etc.

Last step is to create your dialog. For this:
AlertDialog alert builder.create();

and then you can use alert.show() to display your alert.
