Dismiss an Alertdialog in Android

Question

I am trying to dismiss an AlertDialog in android:

    public AlertDialog dialog;
             AlertDialog.Builder builder;
                builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
                builder.setMessage("Message."); 
                dialog= builder.create();
                dialog.show();
  Thread thread = new Thread(this);
  thread.start();

        public void run() {
        Looper.prepare();
        //some code
        handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
        Looper.loop();
        }

        Handler handler= new Handler() {

            @Override public void handleMessage(Message msg)
            { dialog.dismiss();
            //some code 
            } 
            };

It doesn't work. I have searched and tried several proposed methods, and they were all unsuccessful. Any help is appreciated.

put your break point in run method where you trying to send message to handler. and also put inside handleMessage method. — Nishant Rajput, May 02 '12 at 12:13

Please use ProgressDailog instead of alert.

To create:



 ProgressDailog progressDialog = ProgressDialog.show(this,"Loading ..", "Please Wait..");

To dismiss:

progressDialog.dismiss();

to cancel alert Use below code

dialog.setPositiveButton("ok", null);
        dialog.setCancelable(true);
