edt.setText("Enter Comment");
    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(
                    CameraActivity.this);
            builder.setTitle("Enter your Comment");
            lnrt.addView(edt);
            builder.setView(lnrt);

            builder.setNegativeButton("SUBMIT", new OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface arg0, int arg1) {
                    edText = edt.getText().toString();
                    new upDb(2).execute();
                }
            });

Answer 1

Try

builder.setCancelable(false);

before you show the window, it does exactly what you want.

Answer 2

Try this one...

AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
...
...
alert.setCancelable(false);
final AlertDialog dialog = alert.create();
dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);
dialog.show();

Answer 3

This will prevent your dialog from closing when user touches area outside dialog:

dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);
