Android: Close dialog window on touch

Question

I'd like to close a dialog window in my android app by simply touching the screen.. is this possible? If so, how?

I've looked into setting some "onClickEven" on the dialog, but it doesnt exist.

How would this be possible?

Answer 1

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context)
{
    public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)  
    {
        dialog.dismiss();
        return false;
    }
};

And you are done!

Answer 2

You can use dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true); which will close the dialog if you touch u=outside the dialog.
