This tutorial explains step by step how to show or display Alert Dialog in Android Applications via Android Studio.
What is the Alert Dialog?
Alert Dialog box is a popup which occurs when something unexpected occurred that requires immediate user action. For example, when you press the Back button inside any application to exit, it will show you the Alert dialog which says: for ex Are you sure want to do this? or Do you want to stay in the app? etc.

3.Remove the AppCompat from the Activity.
4.Press Alt + Enter and import it.
