How can I display a list view in an Android Alert Dialog?

Used below code to display custom list in AlertDialog

AlertDialog.Builder builderSingle = new AlertDialog.Builder(DialogActivity.this);
builderSingle.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
builderSingle.setTitle("Select One Name:-");

final ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(DialogActivity.this, android.R.layout.select_dialog_singlechoice);
arrayAdapter.add("Hardik");
arrayAdapter.add("Archit");
arrayAdapter.add("Jignesh");
arrayAdapter.add("Umang");
arrayAdapter.add("Gatti");

builderSingle.setNegativeButton("cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });

builderSingle.setAdapter(arrayAdapter, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                String strName = arrayAdapter.getItem(which);
                AlertDialog.Builder builderInner = new AlertDialog.Builder(DialogActivity.this);
                builderInner.setMessage(strName);
                builderInner.setTitle("Your Selected Item is");
                builderInner.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            @Override
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int which) {
                                dialog.dismiss();
                            }
                        });
                builderInner.show();
            }
        });
builderSingle.show();

Show list in AlertDialog

public void showDialog() {

    EntityType en = new EntityType();
    ArrayList array = ApplicationController.entities;

    final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    builder.setTitle("Pick one");
    ArrayList<String> displayValues=new ArrayList<>();
      for (Entity entity : array) {
         displayValues.add(entity.name);
      }

      ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(),android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,array);
      final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
      builder.setTitle("Pick one");
      builder.setSingleChoiceItems(displayValues, 0, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
         @Override
         public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            Entity selectedItem = array[which];
         }
      });    


    builder.show();
}

                    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
                                int which) {
                            dialog.dismiss();
                        }
                    });

            alertBuilder.setAdapter(arrayAdapter,
                    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        @Override

                            String strOS = arrayAdapter.getItem(which);
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                                    "On click selected " + strOS, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                                    .show();
                            dialog.dismiss();
                        }
                    });

            final AlertDialog alertDialog = alertBuilder.create();
            alertDialog.setOnShowListener(new OnShowListener() {

                @Override
                public void onShow(DialogInterface dialog) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                    ListView listView = alertDialog.getListView(); 
                    listView.setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {

                        @Override

                                int position, long id) {
                            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                            String strOS = arrayAdapter.getItem(position);
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                                    "Long Press - Deleted Entry " + strOS,
                                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            alertDialog.dismiss();
                            return true;
                        }
                    });
                }

Android Studio Pass data from a ListView to AlertDialog

when user clicks on the row item just get the position and get the item from the list and pass it to the dialog to show in TextView or something. for ex.

get the device name in click listener like below.

listViewDevices.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            //or showDeviceInfo(devices[position]);
            showDeviceInfo(Names[position]); //whatever array you have for devices just get the item based on position and pass it 
        }
    });

    return root;
}

and pass it to the showing dialog function like below.

  public void showDeviceInfo(String name){
    
        final AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
        View mView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.popup_device, null);
        
    
        TextView DeviceName = (TextView)mView.findViewById(R.id.deviceName);
        DeviceName.setText(name); //setting device name
        alert.setView(mView);
    
        final AlertDialog alertDialog = alert.create();
        alertDialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);
        
        
        alertDialog.show();
    
    }
