Dismiss Dialog Android

Question

I am using this alert dialog:

public  void displayAlert() 
        { 
         new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity()).setMessage(R.string.invitenotice)   
               .setTitle("Invite Notice")   
               .setCancelable(true)   
               .setNeutralButton(android.R.string.ok,   
                  new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {   
                  public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton){ 
                     finish();
                  }   
                  })   
               .show();  
        }

my problem is when I click ok I don't want to use finish(); I just want to dismiss the dialog. Any help is appreciated. Or maybe a more simple way of creating a simple dialog box when I press a button ? Thanks everyone. Also, a problem is I get 4-6 instances of the dialog box. So i need to press ok 4-6 times until it dissapears. Where I put the listener to my button is here :

   findViewById(R.id.mainHelp).setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() { 
            @Override 
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) { 
                               displayAlert(); 
                   return false; 
}});

in the onCreate() method

remove finish() default action is dismiss. so don't put anything in on click().

Just set null as the listener, the dialog will dismiss itself.

You can call dialog.dismiss(); inside you're onClick method.

Yes but ''dialog'' is the parameter! (though it is true that a null listener is simpler and does the same) – njzk2 Dec 20 '11 at 14:30
Whoops, ignore my comment. Must be on a coffee low right now. :p – Jave Dec 20 '11 at 14:32
Null listener will also work, but only as long as you don't want to do anything else inside of onClick method – Nikolay Ivanov Dec 21 '11 at 04:49

Handle the scenario for Dialog box this way

@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
{
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    switch (which)
    {
        case DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEUTRAL:
            break;
    }
}

On click of OK dialog box is dismissed automatically.

How about

            AlertDialog alertDialog;
    alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
    alertDialog.setTitle("Error!");
    alertDialog.setMessage("Test!");
    alertDialog.show();
    alertDialog.setButton(3,"Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){

    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {               
            finish();
            }
    });
