Question

While working with dialogs in android one can cancel it or dismiss it, But when to use dismiss and when to use cancel? what is the difference between them? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

public void cancel ()
Since: API Level 1

Cancel the dialog. This is essentially the same as calling dismiss(), but it will also call your DialogInterface.OnCancelListener (if registered).

This is what docs says, Both are same, just cancel() will call the listener registered on DialogInterface.
