How to dismiss the dialog with click on outside of

Question

I have implemented a custom dialog for my application. I want to implement that when the user clicks outside the dialog, the dialog will be dismissed. What do I have to do for this?

Answer 1

Simply use

dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);

Answer 2

You can try this :-

AlterDialog alterdialog;
alertDialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);

or

alertDialog.setCancelable(true);

And if you have a AlterDialog.Builder Then you can try this:-

alertDialogBuilder.setCancelable(true);

Answer 3

You can make a background occupying all the screen size transparent and listen to the onClick event to dismiss it.

This code is use for when use click on dialogbox that time hidesoftinput and when user click outer side of dialogbox that time both softinput and dialogbox are close.

dialog = new Dialog(act) {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        // Tap anywhere to close dialog.
        Rect dialogBounds = new Rect();
        getWindow().getDecorView().getHitRect(dialogBounds);
        if (!dialogBounds.contains((int) event.getX(),
                (int) event.getY())) {
            // You have clicked the grey area
            InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) act
                    .getSystemService(act.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(dialog
                    .getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
            dialog.dismiss();
            // stop activity closing
        } else {
            InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) act
                    .getSystemService(act.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(dialog
                    .getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
        }

        return true;
    }
};

Answer 5

This method should completely avoid activities below the grey area retrieving click events.

Remove this line if you have it:

window.setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL);

Put this on your activity created

getWindow().setFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH, LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH);

then override the touch event with this

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev)
{
    if(MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN == ev.getAction())
    {
        Rect dialogBounds = new Rect();
        getWindow().getDecorView().getHitRect(dialogBounds);
        if (!dialogBounds.contains((int) ev.getX(), (int) ev.getY())) {
            // You have clicked the grey area
            displayYourDialog();
            return false; // stop activity closing
        }
    }

    // Touch events inside are fine.
    return super.onTouchEvent(ev);
}
