                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id)
                {
                //here saveConfiguration is boolean type    
                    if (saveConfiguration()) 

                                              {
                        dialog.dismiss();
                        finish();

                    }
                    else
                    {
                        dialog.dismiss();
                    }

                }
            });
            builder.setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
            {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id)
                {
                    dialog.dismiss();
                    finish();
                }
            });
            builder.show();
    }

Answer 1

Your dialog is coming twice because it is consuming two events from back key i.e. key down and key up .. restrict that to any one of them ..

             if (event.getAction() != KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
 {

      /* Now call onBackPressed method here */
 }

Answer 2

onBackPressed() is a standart Activity method

What you are doing, is calling this method from onKeyDown manually, and then calling it again by delegataing event further via super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event) (which registers, that you pressed back and calls onBackPressed() automatically);

If you want to work with key back pressed event, thet either remove the onKeyDown method entierly and use only onBackPressed(), or rename your onBackPressed() to be something unique.
