Android close custom dialog

Question

I am trying to get the custom dialog to close on button press

        //set up dialog         Dialog dialog = new Dialog(BrowseActivity.this);         dialog.setContentView(R.layout.about);         dialog.setTitle("This is my custom dialog box");         dialog.setCancelable(true);         //there are a lot of settings, for dialog, check them all out!          //set up text         TextView text = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.TextView01);         text.setText(R.string.app_help_message);          //set up image view         ImageView img = (ImageView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.ImageView01);         img.setImageResource(R.drawable.icon);        //set up button         Button button = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.Button01);         button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {         @Override             public void onClick(View v) {             Dialog.dismiss();              }         });          //now that the dialog is set up, it's time to show it             dialog.show();         return true; 

dialog.dismiss is not working for me. I am simply trying to use this custom dialog as a help screen and want a button press to close it.

I'm very new to android dev but have been trying this for many many hours

Thanks for any advise

final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(BrowseActivity.this); 

You need lowercase dialog.

public void onClick(View v) {    dialog.dismiss(); } 

Also AlertDialog.Builder may be a better choice for you.
