android.view.ViewGroup$LayoutParams cannot be cast to android.widget.AbsListView$LayoutParams

dialogTitle.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));

Here you're replacing existing layout params of correct type AbsListView.LayoutParams with more generic ViewGroup.LayoutParams. Layout params type is that of the parent container of the view.

If you need to modify existing layout params, access them with getLayoutParams(), modify it, and call requestLayout() to notify that the layout has changed.

Example. Instead of

fooView.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(123, 456));

do

LayoutParams lp = fooView.getLayoutParams();
lp.width = 123;
lp.height = 456;
fooView.requestLayout();
