You're missing a semicolon where you're creating a new instance of AlertDialog.Builder. Also, after setting the title, the message, and the positive button call create() on builder and return it:

import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class AlertDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {

    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        Context context = getActivity();

        // Insert code here!
        AlertDialog.Builder builder= new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
        builder.setTitle("Sorry!");
        builder.setMessage("Try again!");
        builder.setPositiveButton("OK", null); 
        return builder.create();
    }
}
