This is my code:

public class DeleteRewardsFragment extends Fragment{

private Context context;

private FragmentsActivity activity;

private ListView listView;
private View myFragmentView;
private DeleteRewardsAdapter adapter;
private String[] values;

@SuppressLint("ResourceAsColor")
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    myFragmentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listview, container, false);
    listView = (ListView) myFragmentView.findViewById(android.R.id.list);


    activity = (FragmentsActivity) getActivity();
    context = activity.getApplicationContext();

    values = new String[4];

    adapter = new DeleteRewardsAdapter(context, values);
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);
    listView.setOnItemClickListener(deleteEvent);

    return myFragmentView;

}

private OnItemClickListener deleteEvent = new OnItemClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
            long arg3) {
        AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog  = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
        alertDialog .setTitle("Jetzt löschen?");
        alertDialog .setMessage("Die in deisem Store gesammelten stampss gehen debei verloren!")
                .setCancelable(false)
                .setPositiveButton("Abbrechen", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        values = new String[values.length-1];
                        adapter = new DeleteRewardsAdapter(context, values);
                        listView.setAdapter(adapter);
                    }
                })
                .setNegativeButton("Löschen", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        dialog.cancel();
                    }
                });

        AlertDialog dialog = alertDialog.create();
        dialog.show();

To add AlertDialog to your Activity or Fragment you have to use your Activity's instance, not your application's which you are doing in your code. Create your AlertDialog like this :

AlertDialog.Builder alertDialog  = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());

And that should do the trick for you! : )
