It has to do with theming and custom item layouts, if you use them. Prior to 3.0, dialogs use a dark background, so if you create your own item layouts, you'll want to use light text color. Starting with 3.0, dialogs use the same background style (dark / light) as their parent activity, so unconditionally using light text color doesn't work. If you use something like AlertDialog.Builder / setMultiChoiceItems / setItems, where the item layouts are provided for you, then you can ignore the above. Ahem, it appears that's what you're in fact using. Ok, ignore what I said, it doesn't apply in this case.

A dialog can access its parent activity data, but activities are generally independent of one another.

I started using Java a fairly long time ago, and don't really remember what my learning materials were back then... Perhaps it was the whatever docs were provided by Microsoft with their Java SDK...
