I tried the solution of PowerAktar  but the AlertDialog and the Builder always kept seperate parts  So how to get the  true  AlertDialog   I found my solutions in the show-Dialog  You write  ad show      to display the dialog  In the help of show it says  Creates a AlertDialog with the arguments supplied to this builder and Dialog show   s the dialog   So the dialog is finally created here  The result of the show  -Command is the AlertDialog itself  So you can use this result   AlertDialog adTrueDialog  adTrueDialog   ad show      With this adTrueDialog it is possible to cancel        adTrueDialog cancel     or to execute a buttons command within the dialog   Button buttonPositive   adTrueDialog getButton Dialog BUTTON POSITIVE   buttonPositive performClick

If you already use positive and negative button  like I do in my project  you can use Neutral Button to close the dialog   I also noticed that in Android version  5 the dialog is closed by clicking outside of dialog window but in older version this is not happening   ad setNeutralButton  CLOSE   new DialogInterface OnClickListener         Override     public void onClick DialogInterface dialog  int which               close dialog

The AlertDialog Builder itself does not contain a dismiss   or cancel   method   It is a convenience class to help you create a Dialog  which DOES have access to those methods   Here is an example   AlertDialog Builder builder   new AlertDialog Builder this     AlertDialog alert   builder create     alert show      You can then call the alert cancel   method on the alert  not the builder

Replying to an old post but hopefully somebody might find this useful  Do this instead  final AlertDialog builder   new AlertDialog Builder getActivity    create      You can then go ahead and do   builder dismiss

AlertDialog Builder builder   new AlertDialog Builder this    AlertDialog alert   builder create     alert show      The above code works but make sure you make alert a global variable so you can reach it from within the onClick method

Use Dialog instead of AlertDialog  AlertDialog doesn t have dismiss   but AlertDialog has some methods for button like setPositiveButton     I recommend to use Dialog if you want customized dialog
