5. When i click the positive button in alert dialog i want to close the activity which in the back(ie Activity A).Want to move to Home screen
6. How can i call the finish code inside the alertdialog positive button Onclicklistener()

Kindly help me to solve this problem.

noData.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        dialog.cancel();
    }
});

How can i add the finish() after cancelling the alertDialog()

Answer 1

You'll need something like this:

noData.setPositiveButton("Ok",
    new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            // Finish activity
            finish();
        }
    });

Just adding finish() inside the onClick should do the trick.

Answer 2

See the code below (replace MyActivity with the name of your activity that this code is living in):

noData.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener(){
    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        MyActivity.this.finish();
}
});

Adding this is very important!
