                        MainActivity.this);
 
                // Set alert title
                builder.setTitle(R.string.alerttitle);
 
                // Set the value for the positive reaction from the user
                // You can also set a listener to call when it is pressed
                builder.setPositiveButton(R.string.ok, null);
 
                // The message
                builder.setMessage(R.string.message);
 
                // Create the alert dialog and display it
                AlertDialog theAlertDialog = builder.create();
                theAlertDialog.show();
 
            }
        });
    }
 
    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }
