Android custom list dialog

Hi,
I'm working on a simple file browser app. I have most of it set up (where it lists everything out in the different directories and what not) but what I'm stuck on right now (worked on it for a few hours) is when a list item is selected, I want to have a custom list dialog appear. I found this code on the android development page and modded it slightly. Currently it just gives a toast of what was selected but I need the three items to be separate. That is, I'd like to do more than a toast and have each selection run different commands. Here is my current code

    final CharSequence[] items = {"Info", "Rename", "Delete"};

    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    builder.setTitle("Options for " + file.getName());
    builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), items[item], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }).show();

Thanks to anyone who can help me just separate it. I've tried a few different variations of if statements and what not but everything I've tried has failed.

A little late but this may help. I'm using it to populate a custom list in a dialog. I'm using a cursor but you can also use a ArrayAdapter or whatever suits your fancy:

Dialog aDialog = new Dialog(this);
AlertDialog.Builder bDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

Cursor books = managedQuery(booksprovider.CONTENT_URI_BOOKS, null, null, null, null);
ListView booksToAdd = new ListView(this);
SimpleCursorAdapter books_list = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.shelves_add, books, 
    new String[] { BOOKS_TITLE, BOOKS_AUTHOR },//columns to include in view 
    new int[] { R.id.search_results_title,  R.id.search_results_author } );//views to bind columns to

booksToAdd.setAdapter(books_list); 
bDialog.setView(booksToAdd);

bDialog.setPositiveButton("Add to Shelf", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { });
aDialog = bDialog.create();
