You can create your own layout in an XML View just like you would for an Activity:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/layout_root" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:padding="10dp" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/image" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginRight="10dp" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/text" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:textColor="#FFF" /> </LinearLayout> Then you can use this View in the Dialog by calling setContentView(View) on the Dialog:
Context mContext = getApplicationContext(); Dialog dialog = new Dialog(mContext); dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom_dialog); dialog.setTitle("Custom Dialog"); TextView text = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.text); text.setText("Hello, this is a custom dialog!"); ImageView image = (ImageView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.image); image.setImageResource(R.drawable.android); As the example shows, you'll have to set some of the values after you declare the content view.

According to google's Documentation you should avoid instantiating the
Dialog class directly. Better to use DialogFragmentsee this example,It will help you:http://www.helloandroid.com/tutorials/how-display-custom-dialog-your-android-application
as in this example layout defined in file for alert dialog.You can set your style for alert dialog.

Thats a custom dialog. Can't we modify the alert dialog itself?
