Для этого можно использовать построитель предупреждений:
AlertDialog.Builder builder;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context, android.R.style.Theme_Material_Dialog_Alert);
} else {
builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
}
builder.setTitle("Delete entry")
.setMessage("Are you sure you want to delete this entry?")
.setPositiveButton(android.R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// continue with delete
}
})
.setNegativeButton(android.R.string.no, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// do nothing
}
})
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
.show();
