How do I fix a merge conflict due to removal of a file in a branch?

I have create a dialog branch and when I try to merge it to master branch. There are 2 conflicts. I don’t know how to resolve CONFLICT (delete/modify). Can you please tell me what to do?

$ git checkout master
$ git merge dialog
CONFLICT (delete/modify): res/layout/dialog_item.xml deleted in dialog and modified in HEAD. Version HEAD of res/layout/dialog_item.xml left in tree.
Auto-merging src/com/DialogAdapter.java
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in src/DialogAdapter.java
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

I have opened src/DialogAdapter.java, fixed the conflict and did a git add src/DialogAdapter.java. What else do I need to do?
