This could help you  It is a way to handle the touch outside event   How to cancel an Dialog themed like Activity when touched outside the window   By catching the event and doing nothing  I think you can prevent the closing  But what is strange though  is that the default behavior of your activity dialog should be not to close itself when you touch outside    PS  the code uses WindowManager LayoutParams

For higher API 10  the Dialog disappears when on touched outside  whereas in lower than API 11  the Dialog doesn t disappear  For prevent this  you need to do   In styles xml   lt item name  android windowCloseOnTouchOutside  gt false lt  item gt   OR  In onCreate   method  use  this setFinishOnTouchOutside false    Note  for API 10 and lower  this method doesn t have effect  and is not needed

What you actually have is an Activity  even if it looks like a Dialog   therefore you should call setFinishOnTouchOutside false  from your activity if you want to keep it open when the background activity is clicked   EDIT  This only works with android API level 11 or greater

Setting the dialog cancelable to be false is enough  and either you touch outside of the alert dialog or click the back button will make the alert dialog disappear  So use this one   setCancelable false   And the other function is not necessary anymore  dialog setCanceledOnTouchOutside false    If you are creating a temporary dialog and wondering there to put this line of code  here is an example   new AlertDialog Builder this                           setTitle  Trial Version                            setCancelable false                           setMessage  You are using trial version                             setIcon R drawable time left                           setPositiveButton android R string yes  null  show
