Alert Dialog
In this section, we are going to create a button which on clicked displays an alert dialog box. The dialog box
contains two buttons, i.e., Delete and Cancel buttons.

First of all, go to main.axml and create a new button inside the linear layout as shown in the following code.

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation = "vertical"
android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
android:background = "#d3d3d3"
android:layout_height = "fill_parent">
<Button
android:id="@+id/MyButton"
android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
android:text = "Click to Delete"
android:textColor = "@android:color/background_dark"
android:background = "@android:color/holo_green_dark" />
</LinearLayout>

Next, open MainActivity.cs to create the alert dialog and add its functionality.

protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle) {

base.OnCreate(bundle);
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.Main);
Button button = FindViewById<Button>(Resource.Id.MyButton);
button.Click += delegate {
AlertDialog.Builder alertDiag = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
alertDiag.SetTitle("Confirm delete");
alertDiag.SetMessage("Once deleted the move cannot be undone");
alertDiag.SetPositiveButton("Delete", (senderAlert, args) => {
Toast.MakeText(this, "Deleted", ToastLength.Short).Show();
});
alertDiag.SetNegativeButton("Cancel", (senderAlert, args) => {
alertDiag.Dispose();
});
Dialog diag = alertDiag.Create();
diag.Show();
};
}

Once done, build and run your Application to view the outcome.
In the above code, we have created an alert dialog called alertDiag, with the following two buttons

setPositiveButton It contains the Delete button action which on clicked displays a confirmation
message Deleted.

setNegativeButton It contains a Cancel button which when clicked simply closes the alert dialog box.
