Question

I’m trying to create a custom dialog. When I call the setOnClickListner method I get a
“the method setOnClickListner in the type view is not applicable for arguments.” I also get a error on the line:

public void onClick(View v) 

saying “The method onClick(View) of type new OnClickListener(){} must override or implement a supertype method”. Code:

void ReStartsFamilyFriend()
{
    // custom dialog
    // custom dialog
    final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.gameover);
    dialog.setTitle("Title...");

    // set the custom dialog components - text, image and button


    Button dialogButton = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.butPlay);
    // if button is clicked, close the custom dialog

        //on this line below get the error "The method setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener) in the type View is not applicable for the arguments "
    dialogButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        /*On the line below I get the error
        "The method onClick(View) of type new OnClickListener(){} must override or implement a supertype 
        method"*/
        public void onClick(View v) {
            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });
    dialog.show();
}

I feel like what you are trying to do is simply dismiss an alert using a different button other than one on the alert dialog. Your best option would be to use VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVv

    dialog.setPositiveButton (CharSequence btnText, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener listener{

    @Override
    onClick(DialogInterface dialogInter, int whichBtn){
        dialog.dismiss();
    }
    });

Theres no need to put a button in the view if you use an alertDialog.builder.
