I provided a sample of android code to create a custom dialog in android. Save the code in different java and xml files as given below before running the code:
 
cdialog.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="200dip"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  android:padding="5dip"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent">
 
  <TextView
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:text="Dialog Title"
      android:gravity="center_vertical"
      android:layout_height="20dip">
  </TextView>
 
  <TextView
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
      android:background="#FFFFFF"
      android:layout_height="0.5sp">
  </TextView>
 
  <TextView
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:text="Dialog Message"
      android:gravity="center_vertical"
      android:layout_height="50dip">
  </TextView>
 
  <Button
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:text="OK"
      android:id="@+id/btnOk"
      android:layout_gravity="center">
  </Button>
 
</LinearLayout>

main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
  
    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/btnDialog"
        android:text="ShowDialog">
    </Button>

</LinearLayout>


CustomDialog.java:
package com.customdialog.home;

import android.app.Dialog;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;

public class CustomDialog extends Dialog
{

    public CustomDialog(Context context)
    {
        super(context);
    }
   
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.cdialog);
    }
}

Home.java:
package com.customdialog.home;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;

public class Home extends Activity
{
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    Button btnClick;
    CustomDialog cd;
    @Override   
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
       
        btnClick = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnDialog);
        btnClick.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
        {           
            @Override
            public void onClick(View arg0)
            {
                cd = new CustomDialog(Home.this);
                cd.show();
               
                Button btnDimiss = (Button)cd.findViewById(R.id.btnOk);
                btnDimiss.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
                {                   
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View arg0)
                    {
                        cd.dismiss();   
                    }
                });

            }
        });
    }
}
