Here is a very simple way to create a custom dialog.
dialog.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- Put your layout content -->
</LinearLayout>
MainActivity.java
ShowPopup(){
LayoutInflater li = LayoutInflater.from(this);
View promptsView = li.inflate(R.layout.dialog, null);
android.app.AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new
android.app.AlertDialog.Builder(this);
alertDialogBuilder.setView(promptsView);
alertDialogBuilder.setCancelable(true);
AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();
alertDialog.show();
}
