 Where do I get the source code you mentioned?

I used Google Code Search:

http://www.google.com/codesearch

Include the package:android clause in there, and it will restrict your
search to Android-related code. Otherwise, it's pretty much the
standard Google search syntax, from what I can tell.

You can download all the source here:

http://source.android.com

But it's rather big.

That's not a good idea. You waste a fair bit of memory and CPU time this way.

 The problem is, the list shows
 the list entries with white text on a white background (only while
 clicking an entry which makes the background orange reveals the text
 of the entry).
 What is my error here?

Try the setSingleChoiceItems() version that takes a Cursor. This
simultaneously lets you use a built-in layout that works and avoids
copying the data into the ArrayAdapter.

 What is the predefined layout
 android.R.layout.simple_list_item_single_choice good for if it uses
 the same color for text and background?

That's for ListView. ListView is not AlertDialog.

AlertDialog uses android.R.layout.select_dialog_multichoice for its
rows (after spending a few minutes hunting through the source code for
the answer).
