How to set Single Choice Items inside AlertDialog?

Question

I haven't been able to set a Single Choice list, or a Multiple Choice List inside an AlertDialog.

I tried following the examples but I only get a Dialog with a Title, the Ok and Cancel buttons, and no list, and NO message (which I set!).

Here is the code:

    protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {     switch (id) {     case DIALOG_DELETE_CITY:         CharSequence[] array = {"Red", "Blue", "Yellow"};          return new AlertDialog.Builder(ShowPypData.this)             .setTitle(R.string.city_actions_delete_label)             .setMessage(R.string.city_actions_delete_select_label)             .setSingleChoiceItems(array, -1, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {                      @Override                     public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {                         // TODO Auto-generated method stub                      }                 })             .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.ok, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {                  @Override                 public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {                     // TODO Auto-generated method stub                  }              })             .setNegativeButton(android.R.string.cancel, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {                  @Override                 public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {                     dialog.dismiss();                  }             }).create();     default:         return null;     }  } 

The weird thing is that if I comment the setSingleChoiceItems part, I can see the message on the dialog.

Seems that Buttons, Message and Multiple choice items are mutually exclusive. Try to comment out setMessage(), setPositiveButton() and setNegativeButton(). Didn't check it myself.
