谢谢尼基，你的回答帮助我改善了现有的简单添加我想要的行动如下

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

builder.setTitle("Do this action");
builder.setMessage("do you want confirm this action?");

builder.setPositiveButton("YES", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        // Do do my action here

        dialog.dismiss();
    }

});

builder.setNegativeButton("NO", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        // I do not need any action here you might
        dialog.dismiss();
    }
});

AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();

这对我来说很管用:

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

    builder.setTitle("Confirm");
    builder.setMessage("Are you sure?");

    builder.setPositiveButton("YES", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

            // Do nothing, but close the dialog
            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });

    builder.setNegativeButton("NO", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

            // Do nothing
            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });

    AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
    alert.show();

谢谢。我使用API级别2 (Android 1.1)，而不是BUTTON_POSITIVE和BUTTON_NEGATIVE，我必须使用BUTTON1和BUTTON2。

在芬兰湾的科特林:

AlertDialog.Builder(this)
    .setTitle(R.string.question_title)
    .setMessage(R.string.question_message)
    .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.yes) { _, _ -> yesClicked() }
    .setNegativeButton(android.R.string.no) { _, _ -> noClicked() }
    .show()

AlertDialog.Builder altBx = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    altBx.setTitle("My dialog box");
    altBx.setMessage("Welcome, Please Enter your name");
    altBx.setIcon(R.drawable.logo);

    altBx.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
    {
      public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
      {
          if(edt.getText().toString().length()!=0)
          {
              // Show any message
          }
          else 
          {

          }
      }
    });
    altBx.setNeutralButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
    {
      public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
      {
          //show any message
      }

    });
  altBx.show();  

Steve H的回答是正确的，但这里有更多的信息:对话框之所以以这种方式工作，是因为Android中的对话框是异步的(当对话框显示时，执行不会停止)。因此，您必须使用回调来处理用户的选择。

在关于Android和。net的区别(因为它涉及到对话框)的更长的讨论中，看看这个问题: 对话框/ alertdialog:如何在对话框启动时“阻止执行”(. net风格)
