Question

I have a simple ProgressDialog but I realized if I press the search button the dialog will be dismiss. What can I do to disable search button press during this process?

dialog = new ProgressDialog(Main.this);
dialog.setTitle("Working in progress");
dialog.setMessage("Please wait...");
dialog.setCancelable(false);
dialog.show();

I put this and it didn’t work.

    dialog = new ProgressDialog(Main.this){
    @Override
    public boolean onSearchRequested() {
            return false;
    }
    };

This don’t work either.

    dialog.setOnKeyListener(new DialogInterface.OnKeyListener() {
        public boolean onKey(DialogInterface dialog, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
            if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_SEARCH && event.getRepeatCount() == 0) {
                return true; // Pretend we processed it
            }
            return false; // Any other keys are still processed as normal
        }
    });

Try putting

@Override
public boolean onSearchRequested() {
        return false;
}

in the activity, instead of the dialog.

Edit: Also try adding the key listener code to the activity:

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    // your code
}
