Get event on dialog( Ok ,Cancel) button pressed(Android)

Question

In my Android application I am displaying the dialogbox which contains edittext. This dialogbox is displayed using PreferenceCategory.My xml file looks like

<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/security_setting_edittext_hint" >
        <EditTextPreference
        android:dialogTitle="@string/security_setting_button"
        android:key="set_password_preference"
        android:summary="@string/set_password_summary"
        android:title="@string/security_setting_button"
        android:inputType="number"
        android:icon="@drawable/lock"
         />
    </PreferenceCategory>

</PreferenceScreen>

My Java file looks like

public class Settings extends PreferenceActivity {

    Dialog setPasswordDialog;
    EditText setPassword;
    EditTextPreference editPreference;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        this.setTitle("Settings");
        addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preference_authentication);
        editPreference=(EditTextPreference)   findPreference("set_password_preference");

}

There is no issue in displaying the dialog but now i want tho get event when Ok and Cancel button from dialog box is pressed to do something. Please provide me solution.

If I get your question correctly, you want to handle the "Ok" and "Cancel" event and then perform some action based on the response.

// This is using code:
AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
alert.setTitle("TITLE HERE");
alert.setMessage("MESSAGE");

alert.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
     //Do something here where "ok" clicked
    }
});
alert.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
    //So sth here when "cancel" clicked.
    }
});
alert.show();
