here's a solution that does not require you to write any xml layouts. it uses standard android layouts where possible and no inflation is necessary:

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle("Select Color Mode");

ListView modeList = new ListView(this);
String[] stringArray = new String[] { "Bright Mode", "Normal Mode" };
ArrayAdapter<String> modeAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, stringArray);
modeList.setAdapter(modeAdapter);

builder.setView(modeList);
dialog = builder.create();

Try this..

Paste the following code in list_item.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:padding="10dp" 
    android:textSize="16sp" android:textColor="#ffffff" android:textStyle="bold" android:background="@drawable/border_cell">
</TextView>

Here is the activity class....

    public class UsersListActivity extends ListActivity{    
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         
            String[] statesList = {"listItem 1", "listItem 2", "listItem 3"};
            setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_item,
                    statesList)); 
            ListView lv = getListView(); 

            lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                        int position, long id) {


                     Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                     "You selected : "+((TextView) view).getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
     }
            });

        }

}
