Answer 1

Try this

public void shw(View view) {

    Dialog dialog=new Dialog(MainActivity.this);
    dialog.setTitle("Dialog Title");     
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custadd);    
    ListView lv=(ListView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.listv);    
    String s1[]={"sunday","monday","tuesday"};

     ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
            this,
            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, s1 );
    lv.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
    dialog.show();

}

Answer 2

Yes, because the view you display ListView is not the view you set for your Dialog . You should fix as below:

Dialog dialog=new Dialog(MainActivity.this);
dialog.setTitle("Dialog Title");
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View convertView = (View) inflater.inflate(R.layout.custadd,null    );
dialog.setContentView(convertView); // set convertView as content view. 
// you can find listview and then fill data here

Answer 3

Remove dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custadd); and set view for dialog when it get's inflated dialog.setContentView(convertView); and the issue will be resolved.
