Possible to use the ListPreference modal view in a ListActivity?

I am trying to put together a modal box with a scrollable list of checkable items and an OK and Cancel button at the bottom for the user to select filters from. It seems the simplest way to do things like this in Android is to reuse API components (widgets, layouts, etc) and the closest one I can find to this looks to be the ListPreference, which basically does exactly what I want (I can even work with storing the data in SharedPreferences).

The problem is that I'm not launching this modal box from a PreferenceActi开发者_Python百科vity, but rather will be launching it from either of two activities: a ListActivity and a MapActivity. If a ListPreference would be possible here, that'd be really convenient, but otherwise any help getting me in the right direction would be great.

Thanks! Nick

Try an AlertDialog, supplying it with your ListAdapter via AlertDialog.Builder.
