setOnCancelListener and setOnDismissListener is not called for AlertDialog for back button pressed or touch outside

Question

When

• Touch outside the dialog region
• Press on back button

I'm expecting onDismiss (Or onCancel) will be called. However, both of them are not called. May I know is there anything I'm missing? From AlertDialog setOnDismissListener not working, I thought onCancel will be called when I press back button. But it doesn't work for me. May I know is there anything I had missed out?

public class RateAppDialogFragment extends SherlockDialogFragment {     public static RateAppDialogFragment newInstance() {         RateAppDialogFragment rateAppDialogFragment = new RateAppDialogFragment();         return rateAppDialogFragment;     }      @Override     public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {         // Get the layout inflater         LayoutInflater inflater = getActivity().getLayoutInflater();         View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.rate_app_dialog_fragment, null);          Utils.setCustomTypeFace(view, Utils.ROBOTO_LIGHT_TYPE_FACE);          final AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this.getSherlockActivity())                     .setTitle("Love JStock?")         .setView(view)         // Add action buttons         .setPositiveButton("Rate 5 stars \u2605", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {             @Override             public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {                 Utils.showShortToast("Rate");             }         })         .setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {             public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {                 Utils.showShortToast("No");             }         })         .setNeutralButton("Later", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {             public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {                 Utils.showShortToast("Later");             }         })         .create();          dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);          dialog.setOnCancelListener(new DialogInterface.OnCancelListener() {              @Override             public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {                 Utils.showShortToast("Back button pressed?");             }         });          dialog.setOnDismissListener(new DialogInterface.OnDismissListener() {              @Override             public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog) {                 // TODO Auto-generated method stub                 Utils.showShortToast("Back button pressed?");             }         });          return dialog;     }  }

    FragmentManager fm = fragmentActivity.getSupportFragmentManager();     if (fm.findFragmentByTag(RATE_APP_DIALOG_FRAGMENT) != null) {         return;     }      RateAppDialogFragment rateAppDialogFragment = RateAppDialogFragment.newInstance();     rateAppDialogFragment.show(fm, RATE_APP_DIALOG_FRAGMENT);   

Answer 1

The problem happens when you are using DialogFragment to display Dialog

According to http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/DialogFragment.html, the solution is to override onCancel in DialogFragment

Please take note from http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/DialogFragment.html#onCreateDialog(android.os.Bundle) too

Note: DialogFragment own the Dialog.setOnCancelListener and Dialog.setOnDismissListener callbacks. You must not set them yourself. To find out about these events, override onCancel(DialogInterface) and onDismiss(DialogInterface).

// This is DialogFragment, not Dialog @Override public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) { } 

Answer 2

If you are using AlertDialog, see

builder.setOnCancelListener(new DialogInterface.OnCancelListener() {     @Override     public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {         // dialog dismiss without button press     } }); 

and dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true) (thanks @LeosLiterak)
