How to close a Dialog in Android programmatically?

Question

How do I close a Dialog in android programmatically for example by a button?

Imagine I have a Dialog with a OK button on it, and want to close it by OK button, but I cant do that!

I googled and found nothing useful, and almost all of them for closing AlertDialog not a Dialog.

Answer 1

You can call dismiss on the dialog.

Answer 2

This is an example of how to create a AlertDialog with 2 Buttons (OK and cancel). When clicking the cancel button,

dialog.dismiss()

is called to close the dialog.

From anywhere outside, you could call

builder.dismiss();

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());             builder.setMessage("Some message.")                    .setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {                            // do something                        }                    })                    .setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {                            dialog.dismiss();                        }                    });              builder.show();
