How can i prevent an android dialog from dismiss when user press beside the dialog?

Question

I have an Dialog (not an AlertDialog) which should only be dismissed when user press a button. But in my case, the dialog dismiss also when user press beside the dialog. How can i avoid that. Thnx for help!

Answer 1

setCanceledOnTouchOutside(boolean cancel) or setCancelable(boolean flag)

These are the methods that you can use to prevent Dialog from being dismissed

Answer 2

Use

dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);

where dialog is your Dialog variable

Dialog docs

Answer 3

Set the cancelable state to false using this: '.setCalcelable(false)'

So your dialog code would look something like this...

Dialog mDialog = new Dialog(this); mDialog.setCancelable(false);
