Answer 1

Use setView() on AlertDialog.Builder, passing in an ExpandableListView that you inflate or create in Java code and have set your adapter on.

Answer 2

you can even make android:theme="Theme.Dialog" in the Manifest file on that particular Activity.

Answer 3

Well, to use the listviews you have to extend the appropriate list-activity, in your case ExpandableListActivity. You wont be able to find a ExpandableListDialog to extend.

I suppose you might be able to implement it in the activity which calls the dialog, and pass on the listview to the dialog as a reference, and manually add it to your layout in the dialog. Im not sure if this will work, but its worth a shot :D
