Question

So I have a button with an on click listener. It’s supposed to open a dialog window with options… but it doesn’t.

Anyone know what the problem is?

seeTexts.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
                builder.setTitle("Pick a color");
                builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), items[item], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
                });
                AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
            }
        });

EDIT (UPDATED CODE):

seeTexts.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
                builder.setTitle("Pick a color");
                builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), items[item], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
                });
                AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
                alert.show();
            }
        });

You just don’t call the show method of your AlertDialog object
