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

            String strName = arrayAdapter.getItem(which);

@CarlosAlbertoMartínezGadea Yes, I did it by showing a custom view in a alert dialog — Kapil Rajput, May 29 '18 at 03:43

Try this:

Change your line:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

to

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this, R.style.DialogTheme);

and add in your styles.xml with parent corresponding to your theme version.

<style name="DialogTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowIsFloating">false</item>
</style>
