How to refresh an AlertDialog in Flutter?

Currently, I have an AlertDialog with an IconButton. The user can click on the IconButton, I have two colors for each click. The problem is that I need to close the AlertDialog and reopen to see the state change of the color icon. I want to change the IconButton color immediately when the user clicks it.

Here is the code:

bool pressphone = false;
//....
new IconButton(
   icon: new Icon(Icons.phone),
   color: pressphone ? Colors.grey : Colors.green,
   onPressed: () => setState(() => pressphone = !pressphone),
),

Use StatefulBuilder to use setState inside Dialog and update Widgets only inside of it.

showDialog(
  context: context,
  builder: (context) {
    String contentText = "Content of Dialog";
    return StatefulBuilder(
      builder: (context, setState) {
        return AlertDialog(
          title: Text("Title of Dialog"),
          content: Text(contentText),
          actions: <Widget>[
            FlatButton(
              onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context),
              child: Text("Cancel"),
            ),
            FlatButton(
              onPressed: () {
                setState(() {
                  contentText = "Changed Content of Dialog";
                });
              },
              child: Text("Change"),
            ),
          ],
        );
      },
    );
  },
);
