Use Dialog class which is a parent class to AlertDialog class in Flutter. Dialog widget has a argument , "shape" which you can use to shape the Edges of the Dialog box.

Here is a code sample:

 Dialog errorDialog = Dialog(
  shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(12.0)), //this right here
  child: Container(
    height: 300.0,
    width: 300.0,
   
    child: Column(
      mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
      children: <Widget>[
        Padding(
          padding:  EdgeInsets.all(15.0),
          child: Text('Cool', style: TextStyle(color: Colors.red),),
        ),
        Padding(
          padding: EdgeInsets.all(15.0),
          child: Text('Awesome', style: TextStyle(color: Colors.red),),
        ),
        Padding(padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: 50.0)),
        TextButton(onPressed: () {
          Navigator.of(context).pop();
        },
            child: Text('Got It!', style: TextStyle(color: Colors.purple, fontSize: 18.0),))
      ],
    ),
  ),
);
showDialog(context: context, builder: (BuildContext context) => errorDialog);}

Code:

Just call this method:

void showCustomDialog(BuildContext context) {
  showGeneralDialog(
    context: context,
    barrierLabel: "Barrier",
    barrierDismissible: true,
    barrierColor: Colors.black.withOpacity(0.5),
    transitionDuration: Duration(milliseconds: 700),
    pageBuilder: (_, __, ___) {
      return Center(
        child: Container(
          height: 240,
          child: SizedBox.expand(child: FlutterLogo()),
          margin: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 20),
          decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.white, borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(40)),
        ),
      );
    },
    transitionBuilder: (_, anim, __, child) {
      Tween<Offset> tween;
      if (anim.status == AnimationStatus.reverse) {
        tween = Tween(begin: Offset(-1, 0), end: Offset.zero);
      } else {
        tween = Tween(begin: Offset(1, 0), end: Offset.zero);
      }
  
      return SlideTransition(
        position: tween.animate(anim),
        child: FadeTransition(
          opacity: anim,
          child: child,
        ),
      );
    },
  );
}

On a button click show dialog as -

showDialog(
        context: context,
        builder: (_) => LogoutOverlay(),
      );

Dialog design with two buttons -

class LogoutOverlay extends StatefulWidget {
      @override
      State<StatefulWidget> createState() => LogoutOverlayState();
    }

    class LogoutOverlayState extends State<LogoutOverlay>
        with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
      AnimationController controller;
      Animation<double> scaleAnimation;

      @override
      void initState() {
        super.initState();

        controller =
            AnimationController(vsync: this, duration: Duration(milliseconds: 450));
        scaleAnimation =
            CurvedAnimation(parent: controller, curve: Curves.elasticInOut);

        controller.addListener(() {
          setState(() {});
        });

        controller.forward();
      }

      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return Center(
          child: Material(
            color: Colors.transparent,
            child: ScaleTransition(
              scale: scaleAnimation,
              child: Container(
                margin: EdgeInsets.all(20.0),
                  padding: EdgeInsets.all(15.0),
                  height: 180.0,

                  decoration: ShapeDecoration(
                      color: Color.fromRGBO(41, 167, 77, 10),
                      shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
                          borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(15.0))),
                  child: Column(
                    children: <Widget>[
                      Expanded(
                          child: Padding(
                        padding: const EdgeInsets.only(
                            top: 30.0, left: 20.0, right: 20.0),
                        child: Text(
                          "Are you sure, you want to logout?",
                          style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white, fontSize: 16.0),
                        ),
                      )),
                      Expanded(
                          child: Row(
                        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,

                                    });
                                  },
                                )),

                                    setState(() {
                                      /* Route route = MaterialPageRoute(
                                          builder: (context) => LoginScreen());
                                      Navigator.pushReplacement(context, route);
                                   */ });
                                  },
                                ))
                          ),
                        ],
                      ))
                    ],
                  )),
            ),
          ),
        );
      }
    }

You just put this class in your project and call its method for showing dialog.
Using this class you don't need to write dialog code everywhere

class DialogUtils {
  static DialogUtils _instance = new DialogUtils.internal();

  DialogUtils.internal();

  factory DialogUtils() => _instance;

  static void showCustomDialog(BuildContext context,
      {@required String title, 
      String okBtnText = "Ok",
      String cancelBtnText = "Cancel",
      @required Function okBtnFunction}) {
    showDialog(
        context: context,
        builder: (_) {
          return AlertDialog(
            title: Text(title),
            content: /* Here add your custom widget  */,
            actions: <Widget>[
              FlatButton(
                child: Text(okBtnText),
                onPressed: okBtnFunction,
              ),
              FlatButton(
                  child: Text(cancelBtnText),
                  onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context))
            ],
          );
        });
  }
 }

You can call this method like :

GestureDetector(
      onTap: () =>
              DialogUtils.showCustomDialog(context,
          title: "Gallary",
          okBtnText: "Save",
          cancelBtnText: "Cancel",
          okBtnFunction: () => /* call method in which you have write your logic and save process  */),
      child: Container(),
)

Alert Dialog

showDialog(
  context: context,
  builder: (BuildContext context) {
    return AlertDialog(
      title: Text("Alert Dialog"),
      content: Text("Dialog Content"),
      actions: [
        TextButton(
          child: Text("Close"),
          onPressed: () {
            Navigator.of(context).pop();
            },
        )
      ],
    );
  },
);

Custom Dialog

showDialog(
        context: context,
        builder: (BuildContext context) {
          return Dialog(
            shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
                borderRadius:
                    BorderRadius.circular(20.0)), //this right here

                  crossAxisAlignment: CrossAxisAlignment.start,
                  children: [
                    TextField(
                      decoration: InputDecoration(
                          border: InputBorder.none,
                          hintText: 'What do you want to remember?'),
                    ),
                    SizedBox(
                      width: 320.0,
                      child: RaisedButton(
                        onPressed: () {},
                        child: Text(
                          "Save",
                          style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
                        ),
                        color: const Color(0xFF1BC0C5),
                      ),
                    )
                  ],
                ),
              ),
            ),
          );
        });

Full-Screen Dialog

showGeneralDialog(
      context: context,
      barrierDismissible: true,
      barrierLabel: MaterialLocalizations.of(context)
          .modalBarrierDismissLabel,
      barrierColor: Colors.black45,
      transitionDuration: const Duration(milliseconds: 200),
      pageBuilder: (BuildContext buildContext,
          Animation animation,
          Animation secondaryAnimation) {
        return Center(
          child: Container(
            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width - 10,
            height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height -  80,
            padding: EdgeInsets.all(20),
            color: Colors.white,
            child: Column(
              children: [
                RaisedButton(
                  onPressed: () {
                    Navigator.of(context).pop();
                  },
                  child: Text(
                    "Save",
                    style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
                  ),
                  color: const Color(0xFF1BC0C5),
                )
              ],
            ),
          ),
        );
      });

An General E.g

showDialog(context: context,builder: (context) => _onTapImage(context)); // Call the Dialog.

_onTapImage(BuildContext context) {
    return Stack(
      alignment: Alignment.center,
      children: <Widget>[
        Image.network('https://via.placeholder.com/150',fit: BoxFit.contain,), // Show your Image
        Align(
          alignment: Alignment.topRight,
          child: RaisedButton.icon(
              color: Theme.of(context).accentColor,
              textColor: Colors.white,
              onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context),
              icon: Icon(
                Icons.close,
                color: Colors.white,
              ),
              label: Text('Close')),
        ),
      ],
    );
  }

You can now use AlertDialog and in content build your widget.

showDialog(
context: context,
builder: (BuildContext context) {
   return AlertDialog(
     shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
     borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(20.0))),
     backgroundColor: Colors.green,
     content: Container(
         height:200,
         width:200,
         decoration: BoxDecoration(
                    image: DecorationImage(
                          image: FileImage(filepath),
                          fit: BoxFit.cover))),}),

There's a working solution in my case:

  Future<void> _showMyDialog() async {
  return showDialog<void>(
  context: context,
  barrierDismissible: false, // user must tap button!
  builder: (BuildContext context) {
    return AlertDialog(
      title: Text('AlertDialog Title'),
      content: SingleChildScrollView(
        child: Column(
          children: <Widget>[
            Text('This is a demo alert dialog.'),
            Text('Would you like to confirm this message?'),
          ],
        ),
      ),
      actions: <Widget>[
        TextButton(
          child: Text('Confirm'),
          onPressed: () {
            print('Confirmed');
            Navigator.of(context).pop();
          },
        ),
        TextButton(
          child: Text('Cancel'),
          onPressed: () {
            Navigator.of(context).pop();
          },
        ),
      ],
    );
  },
);
}

Hope this is helpful: I've made static function in a separate class:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_application_1/TGColors.dart';

class TGDialog 
{
  static doNothing() {  }  // stub needed for Function     parameters

/// Returns an AlertDialog with most optional parameters 

 static AlertDialog dlg(  BuildContext context,
                     { String      txtTitle      = 'WHAT? no title?'  ,
                       String      txtMsg        = 'WHAT? no content?',
                       String      txtBtn1       = 'CANCEL'           ,
                       String      txtBtn2       = 'OK'               , 
                       Function    funcBtn1      = doNothing          ,
                       Function    funcBtn2      = doNothing          ,
                       Color       colBackground = TGColors.Orange    ,
                       Color       colText       = TGColors.Indigo     } ) 
 {
  return
    AlertDialog(
        backgroundColor : colBackground,
        title           : Text(txtTitle),
        content         : Text(txtMsg),
        
        actions : <Widget>
        [
          TextButton(
            onPressed : () => { funcBtn1(), Navigator.pop(context,'Cancel')},
            child     : Text(txtBtn1, style: TextStyle(color: colText)),
          ),

          TextButton(
            onPressed :() => { funcBtn2(),Navigator.pop(context)  },
            child     : Text(txtBtn2, style: TextStyle(color: colText)),
          ),
        ],
    );
  }
} 

An example:

Positioned( bottom: 1, left: (screenW / 5.6), 
            child    : FloatingActionButton(
            heroTag  : 'clear',

            onPressed :() => showDialog<String>
            (
              context : context,
             
              builder : (BuildContext context) => 
                ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
                TGDialog.dlg( context, 
                              txtTitle : 'Clear Order?',
                              txtMsg   : 'This resets all item counts' , 
                              funcBtn2 : resetOrder) 
                ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
            ),
           
            child     : const Text('clear\nall', textAlign: TextAlign.center),
            shape     : RoundedRectangleBorder(
                          borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(40),
                        ),
          ),
        ), 

etc. Btw: I like CSS webcolors so I defined them in a separate class like so:

import 'dart:ui';
/// Contains mainly web colors  (based on CSS)
/// 
/// Usage e.g:  ... = TGcolors.CornFlowerBlue
class TGColors
{
  static const  PrimaryColor =  Color(0xFF808080);
  static const  AliceBlue =  Color(0xFFF0F8FF);
  static const  AntiqueWhite = Color(0xFFFAEBD7);
  static const  Aqua = Color(0xFF00FFFF);
  static const  Aquamarine = Color(0xFF7FFFD4);  
  // etc.
