Android How to disable a positive button after click

Question

I have an information popup which has 2 buttons : Negative (Cancel) and Positive (Continue). How can i disable the positive button after a click. The Click on the button generates a file. It calls a function that is quite heavy, so it takes time to close the popup. I am doing this to prevent the user to click twice and thus generate two files.

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
        builder.setTitle(R.string.close_tour_tour_not_collected);
        builder.setItems(items, null);
        builder.setPositiveButton(R.string.common_continue, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface arg0,
                    int arg1) {     
                    // How to disable the button after the click??? 
                    saveTourAndCloseActivity();
            }

        });

Thanks a lot for your help! :)

Just block the saveTourAndCloseActivity() method inside onclick() after clicking — oshurmamadov, Mar 23 '16 at 11:08
