AlertDialog.Builder

public Builder(@NonNull Context context)

Creates a builder for an alert dialog that uses the default alert dialog theme.

The default alert dialog theme is defined by alertDialogTheme within the parent context's theme.

public Builder(@NonNull Context context, @StyleRes int themeResId)

Creates a builder for an alert dialog that uses an explicit theme resource.

The specified theme resource (themeResId) is applied on top of the parent context's theme. It may be specified as a style resource containing a fully-populated theme, such as Theme_AppCompat_Dialog, to replace all attributes in the parent context's theme including primary and accent colors.

To preserve attributes such as primary and accent colors, the themeResId may instead be specified as an overlay theme such as ThemeOverlay_AppCompat_Dialog. This will override only the window attributes necessary to style the alert window as a dialog.

Alternatively, the themeResId may be specified as 0 to use the parent context's resolved value for alertDialogTheme.

public @NonNull AlertDialog create()

Creates an AlertDialog with the arguments supplied to this builder.

Calling this method does not display the dialog. If no additional processing is needed, show may be called instead to both create and display the dialog.
