Solution 1:

You can do it By Using this Material Dialog https://github.com/drakeet/MaterialDialog Library and Below code, Just put the gravity of Dialog TOP|RIGHT.

privatevoidshowMaterialDialog() {

        final ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = newArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_single_choice);
        for (Card card : cards) {
            arrayAdapter.add(card.getName());
        }


         alert = newMaterialDialog(this);
        ViewmView= getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.custom_view_virtual_card, null);
        ListViewlistView= (ListView) mView.findViewById(R.id.listView);
        listView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
        listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_SINGLE);
        AppCompatButtonbtnCancel= (AppCompatButton) mView.findViewById(R.id.btnCancel);
        AppCompatButtonbtnOk= (AppCompatButton) mView.findViewById(R.id.btnOk);

        btnOk.setOnClickListener(newView.OnClickListener() {
            @OverridepublicvoidonClick(View v) {
                startAsyncForRequestVirtualCard(selectedCardTypeId);
                alert.dismiss();
            }
        });
        btnCancel.setOnClickListener(newView.OnClickListener() {
            @OverridepublicvoidonClick(View v) {
                alert.dismiss();
            }
        });
        listView.setOnItemClickListener(newAdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
            @OverridepublicvoidonItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                selectedCardTypeId = cards.get(position).getId();
                Log.d("request", cards.get(position).getId() + " " + cards.get(position).getName());
            }
        });

        alert.setView(mView);
        alert.show();

    }

Solution 2:

Don't create a new activity instead create a new java class in that apply your sorting logic to filter the content and when your button is pressed that activity should return all your sorted content using List class or ArrayList class or anything else then display it.
