How to dismiss an AlertDialog on a FlatButton clic

Question

I have the following AlertDialog.

showDialog(
            context: context,
            child: new AlertDialog(
              title: const Text("Location disabled"),
              content: const Text(
                  """
Location is disabled on this device. Please enable it and try again.
                  """),
              actions: [
                new FlatButton(
                  child: const Text("Ok"),
                  onPressed: _dismissDialog,
                ),
              ],
            ),
        );

How can I make _dismissDialog() dismiss said AlertDialog?

Answer 1

The accepted answer states how to dismiss a dialog using the Navigator Class. To dismiss a dialog without using Navigator you can set the onPressed event of the button to the following:

setState((){
  thisAlertDialog = null; 
});

In case the code above is not self-explanatory it is basically setting the Parent AlertDialog of the FlatButton to null, thus dismissing it.

Answer 2

If you don't want to return any result, use either of them:

Navigator.of(context).pop();
Navigator.pop(context);

---

But if you do want to return some result, see this

Example:

showDialog(
    context: context,
    builder: (_) {
      return AlertDialog(
        title: Text('Wanna Exit?'),
        actions: [
          FlatButton(
            onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context, false), // passing false
            child: Text('No'),
          ),
          FlatButton(
            onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context, true), // passing true
            child: Text('Yes'),
          ),
        ],
      );
    }).then((exit) {
  if (exit == null) return;

  if (exit) {
    // user pressed Yes button
  } else {
    // user pressed No button
  }
});

Answer 3

Navigator.pop() should do the trick. You can also use that to return the result of the dialog (if it presented the user with choices)

Example of dismissing alert dialog on flat button click

RaisedButton(
        onPressed: () {
          showDialog(
              context: context,
              builder: (context) => AlertDialog(
                    title: Text('Are you sure?'),
                    content: Text('Do you want to remove item?'),
                    actions: <Widget>[
                      FlatButton(
                          onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pop(false),//  We can return any object from here
                           child: Text('NO')),
                      FlatButton(
                          onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pop(true), //  We can return any object from here
                          child: Text('YES'))
                    ],
                  )).then((value) =>
              print('Selected Alert Option: ' + value.toString()));
        },
        child: Text('Show Alert Dialog'),
      ),

Above code have two unique things which is used to provide callback result of dialog

Navigator.of(context).pop(false) -- return false value when we pressed NO Navigator.of(context).pop(true) -- return true value when we pressed YES

Based on these return value, we can perform some operation outside of it or maintain the dialog status value

Answer 5

Navigator.of(context, rootNavigator: true).pop('dialog')

worked with me.

Answer 6

This works Prefectly

      RaisedButton(
                child: Text(
                  "Cancel",
                  style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
                ),
                color: Colors.blue,
                onPressed: () => Navigator.pop(context),
              ),
