Question

My simple code here shows a Dialog in Android. I want to not hide the dialog when the user clicks outside the dialog or the dialog loses focus. How can I do it?

DialogInterface.OnClickListener dialogClickListener = new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
  public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
    switch (which) {
      case DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE:
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "yes", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        break;
      case DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEGATIVE:
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "no", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        break;
      }
    }
  };

And the button code is:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage("Are you sure?")
  .setPositiveButton("Yes", dialogClickListener)
  .setNegativeButton("No", dialogClickListener).show();

Thanks.

Answer 1

use this for hiding if clicked outside dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);

or use this for NOT hiding if clicked out side dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);
