How to prevent a dialog from closing when a button is clicked

Question

I have a dialog with EditText for input  When I click the  yes  button on dialog  it will validate the input and then close the dialog  However  if the input is wrong  I want to remain in the same dialog  Every time no matter what the input is  the dialog should be automatically closed when I click on the  no  button  How can I disable this  By the way  I have used PositiveButton and NegativeButton for the button on dialog

If you are using material design I would suggest checking out material-dialogs   It fixed several issues for me related to currently open Android bugs  see 78088   but most importantly for this ticket it has an autoDismiss flag that can be set when using the Builder

Super simple Kotlin approach  with AlertDialog Builder this             setTitle  quot Title quot           setView R layout dialog name          setPositiveButton  quot Ok quot   null          setNegativeButton  quot Cancel quot          - gt            create   apply               setOnShowListener                   getButton AlertDialog BUTTON POSITIVE  setOnClickListener                         Validate and dismiss                     dismiss                                                   show

Here are some solutions for all types of dialogs including a solution for AlertDialog Builder that will work on all API levels  works below API 8  which the other answer here does not   There are solutions for AlertDialogs using AlertDialog Builder  DialogFragment  and DialogPreference  Below are the code examples showing how to override the default common button handler and prevent the dialog from closing for these different forms of dialogs  All the examples show how to prevent the positive button from closing the dialog  Note  A description of how the dialog closing works under the hood for the base android classes and why the following approaches are chosen follows after the examples  for those who want more details  AlertDialog Builder - Change default button handler immediately after show   AlertDialog Builder builder   new AlertDialog Builder getActivity     builder setMessage  quot Test for preventing dialog close quot    builder setPositiveButton  quot Test quot            new DialogInterface OnClickListener                          Override             public void onClick DialogInterface dialog  int which                                  Do nothing here because we override this button later to change the close behaviour                     However  we still need this because on older versions of Android unless we                    pass a handler the button doesn t get instantiated                           final AlertDialog dialog   builder create    dialog show      Overriding the handler immediately after show is probably a better approach than OnShowListener as described below dialog getButton AlertDialog BUTTON POSITIVE  setOnClickListener new View OnClickListener                                  Override           public void onClick View v                            Boolean wantToCloseDialog   false                  Do stuff  possibly set wantToCloseDialog to true then                  if wantToCloseDialog                    dialog dismiss                    else dialog stays open  Make sure you have an obvious way to close the dialog especially if you set cancellable to false                                 DialogFragment -

I ve written a simple class  an AlertDialogBuilder  that you can use to disable the auto-dismiss feature when pressing the dialog s buttons   It is compatible also with Android 1 6  so it doesn t make use of the OnShowListener  which is available only API    8    So  instead of using AlertDialog Builder you can use this CustomAlertDialogBuilder  The most important part is that you should not call create    but only the show   method  I ve added methods like setCanceledOnTouchOutside   and setOnDismissListener so that you can still set them directly on the builder   I tested it on Android 1 6  2 x  3 x and 4 x so it should work pretty well  If you find some problems please comment here   package com droidahead lib utils   import android app AlertDialog  import android content Context  import android content DialogInterface  import android view View  import android view View OnClickListener   public class CustomAlertDialogBuilder extends AlertDialog Builder                  Click listeners             private DialogInterface OnClickListener mPositiveButtonListener   null      private DialogInterface OnClickListener mNegativeButtonListener   null      private DialogInterface OnClickListener mNeutralButtonListener   null                  Buttons text             private CharSequence mPositiveButtonText   null      private CharSequence mNegativeButtonText   null      private CharSequence mNeutralButtonText   null       private DialogInterface OnDismissListener mOnDismissListener   null       private Boolean mCancelOnTouchOutside   null       public CustomAlertDialogBuilder Context context            super context              public CustomAlertDialogBuilder setOnDismissListener  DialogInterface OnDismissListener listener            mOnDismissListener   listener          return this              Override     public CustomAlertDialogBuilder setNegativeButton CharSequence text  DialogInterface OnClickListener listener            mNegativeButtonListener   listener          mNegativeButtonText   text          return this              Override     public CustomAlertDialogBuilder setNeutralButton CharSequence text  DialogInterface OnClickListener listener            mNeutralButtonListener   listener          mNeutralButtonText   text          return this              Override     public CustomAlertDialogBuilder setPositiveButton CharSequence text  DialogInterface OnClickListener listener            mPositiveButtonListener   listener          mPositiveButtonText   text          return this              Override     public CustomAlertDialogBuilder setNegativeButton int textId  DialogInterface OnClickListener listener            setNegativeButton getContext   getString textId   listener           return this              Override     public CustomAlertDialogBuilder setNeutralButton int textId  DialogInterface OnClickListener listener            setNeutralButton getContext   getString textId   listener           return this              Override     public CustomAlertDialogBuilder setPositiveButton int textId  DialogInterface OnClickListener listener            setPositiveButton getContext   getString textId   listener           return this             public CustomAlertDialogBuilder setCanceledOnTouchOutside  boolean cancelOnTouchOutside            mCancelOnTouchOutside   cancelOnTouchOutside          return this                Override     public AlertDialog create             throw new UnsupportedOperationException  CustomAlertDialogBuilder create    use show   instead                  Override     public AlertDialog show             final AlertDialog alertDialog   super create             DialogInterface OnClickListener emptyOnClickListener   new DialogInterface OnClickListener                  Override             public void onClick DialogInterface dialog  int which                              Enable buttons  needed for Android 1 6  -

Here s something if you are using DialogFragment - which is the recommended way to handle Dialogs anyway   What happens with AlertDialog s setButton   method  and I imagine the same with AlertDialogBuilder s setPositiveButton   and setNegativeButton    is that the button you set  e g  AlertDialog BUTTON POSITIVE  with it will actually trigger TWO different OnClickListener objects when pressed    The first being DialogInterface OnClickListener  which is a parameter to setButton    setPositiveButton    and setNegativeButton      The other is View OnClickListener  which will be set to automatically dismiss your AlertDialog when any of its button is pressed - and is set by AlertDialog itself    What you can do is to use setButton   with null as the DialogInterface OnClickListener  to create the button  and then call your custom action method inside View OnClickListener  For example     Override public Dialog onCreateDialog Bundle savedInstanceState        AlertDialog alertDialog   new AlertDialog getActivity            set more items        alertDialog setButton AlertDialog BUTTON POSITIVE   OK   null        return alertDialog      Then  you may override the default AlertDialog s buttons  View OnClickListener  which would otherwise dismiss the dialog  in the DialogFragment s onResume   method    Override public void onResume         super onResume        AlertDialog alertDialog    AlertDialog  getDialog        Button okButton   alertDialog getButton AlertDialog BUTTON POSITIVE       okButton setOnClickListener new View OnClickListener               Override         public void onClick View v                        performOkButtonAction                         private void performOkButtonAction            Do your stuff here     You will need to set this in the onResume   method because getButton   will return null until after the dialog has been shown   This should cause your custom action method to only be called once  and the dialog won t be dismissed by default

An alternate solution  I would like to present an alternate answer from a UX perspective    Why would you want to prevent a dialog from closing when a button is clicked  Presumably it is because you have a custom dialog in which the user hasn t made a choice or hasn t completely filled everything out yet  And if they are not finished  then you shouldn t allow them to click the positive button at all  Just disable it until everything is ready    The other answers here give lots of tricks for overriding the positive button click  If that were important to do  wouldn t Android have made a convenient method to do it  They didn t   Instead  the Dialogs design guide shows an example of such a situation  The OK button is disabled until the user makes a choice  No overriding tricks are necessary at all  It is obvious to the user that something still needs to be done before going on     How to disable the positive button  See the Android documentation for creating a custom dialog layout  It recommends that you place your AlertDialog inside a DialogFragment  Then all you need to do is set listeners on the layout elements to know when to enable or disable the positive button    If you custom dialog has radio buttons  then use RadioGroup OnCheckedChangeListener  If your custom dialog has check boxes  then use CompoundButton OnCheckedChangeListener  If your custom dialog has an EditText  then use TextWatcher    The positive button can be disabled like this   AlertDialog dialog    AlertDialog  getDialog    dialog getButton AlertDialog BUTTON POSITIVE  setEnabled false     Here is an entire working DialogFragment with a disabled positive button such as might be used in the image above   import android support v4 app DialogFragment  import android support v7 app AlertDialog   public class MyDialogFragment extends DialogFragment         Override     public Dialog onCreateDialog Bundle savedInstanceState                inflate the custom dialog layout         LayoutInflater inflater   getActivity   getLayoutInflater            View view   inflater inflate R layout my dialog layout  null               add a listener to the radio buttons         RadioGroup radioGroup    RadioGroup  view findViewById R id radio group           radioGroup setOnCheckedChangeListener new RadioGroup OnCheckedChangeListener                  Override             public void onCheckedChanged RadioGroup radioGroup  int i                       enable the positive button after a choice has been made                 AlertDialog dialog    AlertDialog  getDialog                    dialog getButton AlertDialog BUTTON POSITIVE  setEnabled true                                         build the alert dialog         AlertDialog Builder builder   new AlertDialog Builder getActivity             builder setView view                   setPositiveButton  OK   new DialogInterface OnClickListener                          Override                     public void onClick DialogInterface dialog  int id                               TODO  use an interface to pass the user choice back to the activity                                                           setNegativeButton  Cancel   new DialogInterface OnClickListener                         public void onClick DialogInterface dialog  int id                            MyDialogFragment this getDialog   cancel                                                      return builder create                Override     public void onResume             super onResume                disable positive button by default         AlertDialog dialog    AlertDialog  getDialog            dialog getButton AlertDialog BUTTON POSITIVE  setEnabled false             The custom dialog can be run from an activity like this   MyDialogFragment dialog   new MyDialogFragment    dialog show getFragmentManager     MyTag      Notes   For the sake of brevity  I omitted the communication interface to pass the user choice info back to the activity  The documentation shows how this is done  though  The button is still null in onCreateDialog so I disabled it in onResume  This has the undesireable effect of disabling the it again if the user switches to another app and then comes back without dismissing the dialog  This could be solved by also unselecting any user choices or by calling a Runnable from onCreateDialog to disable the button on the next run loop   view post new Runnable          Override     public void run             AlertDialog dialog    AlertDialog  getDialog            dialog getButton AlertDialog BUTTON POSITIVE  setEnabled false                Related   Android Alert Dialog with one  two  and three buttons How can I display a list view in an Android Alert Dialog

For ProgressDialogs  To prevent the dialog from being dismissed automatically you have to set the OnClickListener after the ProgressDialog is shown  like so   connectingDialog   new ProgressDialog this    connectingDialog setCancelable false   connectingDialog setCanceledOnTouchOutside false       Create the button but set the listener to a null object  connectingDialog setButton DialogInterface BUTTON NEGATIVE   Cancel             DialogInterface OnClickListener  null       Show the dialog so we can then get the button from the view  connectingDialog show        Get the button from the view  Button dialogButton   connectingDialog getButton  DialogInterface BUTTON NEGATIVE       Set the onClickListener here  in the view  dialogButton setOnClickListener  new View OnClickListener           Override     public void onClick   View v                 Dialog will not get dismissed until you call dismiss   explicitly

This is probably very late reply  but using setCancelable will do the trick   alertDial setCancelable false

you can add builder show    after validation message before return   like this       public void login         final AlertDialog Builder builder   new AlertDialog Builder this       builder setView R layout login layout       builder setTitle  Login           builder setNegativeButton  Cancel   new DialogInterface OnClickListener                  Override         public void onClick DialogInterface dialog  int id                        dialog cancel                        put the negative button before the positive button  so it will appear      builder setPositiveButton  Ok   new DialogInterface OnClickListener                  Override         public void onClick DialogInterface dialog  int id                        Dialog d    Dialog  dialog              final EditText etUserName    EditText  d findViewById R id etLoginName               final EditText etPassword    EditText  d findViewById R id etLoginPassword               String userName   etUserName getText   toString   trim                String password   etPassword getText   toString   trim                 if  userName isEmpty      password isEmpty                                   Toast makeText getApplicationContext                             Please Fill all fields   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show                    builder show      here after validation message before retrun                                    it will reopen the dialog                                  till the user enter the right condition                 return                             user   Manager get getApplicationContext    getUserByName userName                if  user    null                                Toast makeText getApplicationContext                             Error ethier username or password are wrong   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show                    builder show                    return                            if  password equals user getPassword                                   etPassword setText                      etUserName setText                      setLogged 1                   setLoggedId user getUserId                     Toast makeText getApplicationContext                             Successfully logged in   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show                   dialog dismiss      if every thing is ok then dismiss the dialog                           else                               Toast makeText getApplicationContext                             Error ethier username or password are wrong   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show                    builder show                    return                                        builder show

I found an other way to achieve this     Step 1  Put the dialog opening code in a method  Or Function in C   Step 2  Inside the onClick of yes  Your positiveButton   call this dialog opening method recursively if your condition is not satisfied  By using if   else      Like below    private void openSave             final AlertDialog Builder builder new AlertDialog Builder Phase2Activity this        builder setTitle  quot SAVE quot                setIcon R drawable ic save icon               setPositiveButton  quot Save quot   new DialogInterface OnClickListener                      Override                 public void onClick DialogInterface dialogInterface  int i                                                 if   editText getText   toString   isEmpty    amp  amp   editText1 getText   toString   isEmpty                                       createPdf fileName title file                                                         else                               openSave                                Toast makeText Phase2Activity this   quot Some fields are empty  quot   Toast LENGTH SHORT  show                                                                                setNegativeButton  quot Cancel quot   new DialogInterface OnClickListener                  Override             public void onClick DialogInterface dialogInterface  int i                   dialogInterface dismiss                                          setCancelable false               create                show         But this will make the dialog disappear just for a moment and it will appear again instantly

Use a custom layout for your DialogFragment and add a LinearLayout under your content which can be styled as borderless to match Google Material Design  Then find the newly created buttons and override their OnClickListener   Example   public class AddTopicFragment extends DialogFragment         Override     public Dialog onCreateDialog Bundle savedInstanceState            final AlertDialog

Inspired by Tom s answer  I believe the idea here is      Set the onClickListener during the creation of the dialog to null Then set a onClickListener after the dialog is shown      You can override the onShowListener like Tom  Alternatively  you can   get the button after calling AlertDialog s show   set the buttons  onClickListener as follows  slightly more readable I think       Code    AlertDialog Builder builder   new AlertDialog Builder context          final AlertDialog dialog   builder create    dialog show       now you can override the default onClickListener Button b   dialog getButton AlertDialog BUTTON POSITIVE   b setOnClickListener new View OnClickListener          Override     public void onClick View view            Log i TAG   ok button is clicked            handleClick dialog

EDIT  This only works on API 8  as noted by some of the comments   This is a late answer  but you can add an onShowListener to the AlertDialog where you can then override the onClickListener of the button   final AlertDialog dialog   new AlertDialog Builder context           setView v           setTitle R string my title           setPositiveButton android R string ok  null    Set to null  We override the onclick          setNegativeButton android R string cancel  null           create     dialog setOnShowListener new DialogInterface OnShowListener           Override     public void onShow DialogInterface dialogInterface             Button button     AlertDialog  dialog  getButton AlertDialog BUTTON POSITIVE           button setOnClickListener new View OnClickListener                   Override             public void onClick View view                       TODO Do something                    Dismiss once everything is OK                  dialog dismiss                                        dialog show

The answer at this link is a simple solution  and which is compatible right back to API 3  It is very  similiar to Tom Bollwitt s solution  but without using the less compatible OnShowListener      Yes  you can  You basically need to          Create the dialog with DialogBuilder   show   the dialog   Find the buttons in the dialog shown and override their onClickListener      I made minor adaptions to Kamen s code since I was extending an EditTextPreference    Override protected void showDialog Bundle state      super showDialog state      class mocl implements OnClickListener      private final AlertDialog dialog      public mocl AlertDialog dialog              this dialog   dialog               Override     public void onClick View v               checks if EditText is empty  and if so tells the user via Toast           otherwise it closes dialog and calls the EditTextPreference s onClick           method to let it know that the button has been pressed          if   IntPreference this getEditText   getText   toString   equals               dialog dismiss            IntPreference this onClick dialog DialogInterface BUTTON POSITIVE                     else               Toast t   Toast makeText getContext     Enter a number    Toast LENGTH SHORT               t show                            AlertDialog d    AlertDialog  getDialog      Button b   d getButton DialogInterface BUTTON POSITIVE     b setOnClickListener new mocl  d         Such fun
