The problem is that you throw the Popit and before you call super.onBackPressed(); delete it :)

super.onBackPressed();

remove this line.

if you don't remove it, the default functionality will be triggered which will close the current activity.

Try this

 public void onBackPressed() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub     

 super.onBackPressed();       
      PopIt("Exit Application", "Are you sure you want to exit?");



    }

Try this

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
    .setTitle("Really Exit?")
    .setMessage("Are you sure you want to exit?")
    .setNegativeButton(android.R.string.no, null)
    .setPositiveButton(android.R.string.yes, new OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(DialogInterface arg0, int arg1) {
            youractivity.super.onBackPressed();
        }
    }).create().show();
}

Remove this line super.onBackPressed();

You are displaying dialog in onBackPressed()

so its like your are overriding behavior of onBackPressed();

so don't call super class method.

remove the super.onBackPressed();

this will work :

public void onBackPressed() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub          
      PopIt("Exit Application", "Are you sure you want to exit?");
    }
