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

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();

When using dialog as an activity in the onCreate add this  setFinishOnTouchOutside false

User · Answer

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

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
