AlertDialog's items not displayed

Question

I create an AlertDialog with an AlertDialog.Builder and set some items with setItems(). The dialog is shown but I cannot see any of the items. All I see is the message.

final CharSequence[] items = {"Red", "Green", "Blue"};  AlertDialog.Builder dialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity); dialogBuilder.setMessage("Pick a color"); dialogBuilder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {             public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {         // Do anything you want here     }     });  dialogBuilder.create().show(); 

If I set the PositiveButton, I can see that button just fine. I also tried setting MultiChoiceItems and SingleChoiceItems but neither of these work either.

Answer 1

Use setTitle instead of setMessage which sets message body and overrides the items list.
