How to disable the cancel when a popupwindow shows

Question

I created a popupwindow to show a menu. I found that if I press the cancel button on keyboard, the popupwindow will dismiss, and setFocusable() only disable the buttons like menu, but cancel button still works. If there exists a method to make popupwindow invalid for popupwindow, or define the action myself when a cancel button is pressed? Thanks.

Well I mean back button when i say cancel button. And Thanks for sachy and other people who reply me.

Please explain more to now exactly what you want to achieve. If you just want to disable the button you might try this.

Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
button.setEnabled(false);

Or you want to override the cancel button? Check this out then: Back button behavior

By cancel button do you mean back button? If yes than u can simply override onKeyDown().

 @Override
  public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)) {
        Log.d("back", "back button pressed");
    }
    return true; //to prevent this event from being propagated further.
}
