java - Prevent Android activity dialog from closing on outside touch

Question

I have an activity that is using the Theme.Dialog style such that it is a floating window over another activity. However, when I click outside the dialog window (on the background activity), the dialog closes. How can I stop this behaviour?

Answer 1

To prevent dialog box from getting dismissed on back key pressed use this

dialog.setCancelable(false);

And to prevent dialog box from getting dismissed on outside touch use this

 dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);
