Try this and let me know what happen,

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MixContainerInfoActivity.this);
View view = new View(MixContainerInfoActivity.this);
view = (View)getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.unit_list, null);
builder.setCustomTitle(titleView);
builder.setView(view);
containerList = (ListView)view.findViewById(R.id.unit_list_view);
ArrayAdapter<Vector> containerAdapter = new UnitMenuAdapter(MixContainerInfoActivity.this, R.layout.custom_unit_list, containerVector);     
containerList.setAdapter(containerAdapter);
final AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();

containerList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
                    long arg3) {
                System.out.println("Item Clicked..");
                alert.dismiss();
            }
        });

setOnItemClickListener is raised when an item from list is clicked. Since dialog is shown above list, you are not able to click list's item. Instead you should add the following line to your builder and remove setOnItemClickListener :

//it will dismiss the dialog automatically
builder.setNegativeButton("OK", null);
