                    showAlert(TellAFriend.this, Contact.Reason_Eng,"3");
                } else if(language.contentEquals("ar")){
                    showAlert(TellAFriend.this, Contact.Reason_Ar,"3");
                }
            }

        } else {
            showAlert(TellAFriend.this, "Response Failure", "1");
        }

        Dialog.dismiss();

    }




public void showAlert(final Context context, String message,
        final String type) {

    AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(
            context);

    // set title
    alertDialogBuilder
            .setTitle(getResources().getString(R.string.app_name));
    language = sharedPreference.getString("language", "");
    if ((language.contentEquals("")) || (language.contentEquals("en"))) {
        alertDialogBuilder
                .setMessage(message)
                .setCancelable(false)
                .setNeutralButton("OK",
                        new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
                                    int id) {
                                if (type.contentEquals("1")) {
                                    finish();
                                    Intent mainwin = new Intent(context,
                                            MainWindow.class);
                                    startActivity(mainwin);
                                } else if (type.contentEquals("2")) {
                                    finish();

                                    startActivity(intentList);
                                } else if (type.contentEquals("3")) {
                                    dialog.dismiss();
                                }
                                dialog.dismiss();

                            }
                        });

    } else if (language.contains("ar")) {
        alertDialogBuilder
                .setMessage(message)
                .setCancelable(false)
                .setNeutralButton(getResources().getString(R.string.ok),
                        new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,
                                    int id) {
                                if (type.contentEquals("1")) {
                                    finish();
                                    Intent mainwin = new Intent(context,
                                            MainWindow.class);
                                    startActivity(mainwin);
                                } else if (type.contentEquals("2")) {
                                    finish();
                                    Intent intentList = new Intent(context,
                                            OilTrackerListView.class);
                                    startActivity(intentList);
                                } else if (type.contentEquals("3")) {
                                    dialog.dismiss();
                                }
                                dialog.dismiss();

                            }
                        });

    }

    AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();

    // show it
    alertDialog.show();
}

Alertbox opens,when i click ok the screen goes to the home screen.I need to open another class instead of homescreen.i was not able to find the showalert.Just now found out.I thought it was an already defined function in android.

showalert method it comes automatically when i hit ctrl+enter — zyonneo, Mar 09 '15 at 06:53
as @Don Chakkappan said , finish(); is called when the button is clicked. The activity will therefore be closed. — Koma Yip, Mar 09 '15 at 07:30

Listener for your OK button in AlertDialogue must be like this.I think you are calling finish() in onClick()

        alert.setButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE, "OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

            alert.dismiss();    

        }
        });

I think i have to change here

if (type.contentEquals("1")) {
                                finish();
                                Intent mainwin = new Intent(context,
                                        whichclassiwant.class);
                                startActivity(mainwin);
                            }

When i use showalert after the dialogbox it goes to the Homescreen?How to stop it?
