Android Don't dismiss AlertDialog after clicking PositiveButton

Question

Can I just don't dismiss my AlertDialog after clicking PositiveButton?

I would like to remain the dialog to show something update on my ArrayAdapter listWords.

This is my code.

AlertDialog.Builder sayWindows = new AlertDialog.Builder(MapActivity.this);  final EditText saySomething = new EditText(MapActivity.this);  sayWindows.setPositiveButton("ok",             new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {                 public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {                     say = userName + " Says: "+saySomething.getText();                     showPosition.setText(say);                                       }             });  sayWindows.setNegativeButton("cancel",             new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {                 public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {                     dialog.dismiss();                 }             });  sayWindows.setAdapter(listWords, null); sayWindows.setView(saySomething); sayWindows.create().show();

After looking at @Little Child solution, I try to make this. Let us know if this works for you.

    AlertDialog.Builder sayWindows = new AlertDialog.Builder(             MapActivity.this);     final EditText saySomething = new EditText(MapActivity.this);     sayWindows.setPositiveButton("ok", null);     sayWindows.setNegativeButton("cancel", null);     sayWindows.setAdapter(listWords, null);     sayWindows.setView(saySomething);      final AlertDialog mAlertDialog = sayWindows.create();     mAlertDialog.setOnShowListener(new DialogInterface.OnShowListener() {          @Override         public void onShow(DialogInterface dialog) {              Button b = mAlertDialog.getButton(AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE);             b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {                  @Override                 public void onClick(View view) {                     // TODO Do something                    say = userName + " Says: "+saySomething.getText();                    showPosition.setText(say);                  }             });         }     });     mAlertDialog.show();
