Question

I have an AlertDialog.Builder inside which a button is present and I want to dismiss the dialog when it is clicked.

But there are no .dismiss() or .cancel() methods.

    LayoutInflater inf = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    View layout = inf.inflate(R.layout.map_window, null);

    window = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
    window.setCancelable(true);

    buttonStar = (ImageButton)layout.findViewById(R.id.buttonStar);
    buttonStar.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.star);
    buttonStar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
        //finishing window;
    }
      });


    window.setPositiveButton("Volver", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {  
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int wichButton) {  

        }  
    });  

    window.show();

}

Answer 1

AlertDialog.Builder#show returns the AlertDialog itself, so just get the AlertDialog itself that returns from show and call dismiss on it:

AlertDialog dialog;
//...

dialog = window.show();
