Why does Android NoSuchMethodException occurs at AlertDialog.Builder's setOnDismissListener

Question

I am getting a NoSuchMethodException when using setOnDismissListener on Dialog in Android on a device with 4.1.2.

The same code is working on the emulator with version 4.2.2.

new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
   .setTitle(R.string.select_province)
   .setOnDismissListener(new OnDismissListener() {
        public void onDismiss(DialogInterface arg0) {
       //== other stuff
    }
}).show();

Any ideas?

Answer 1

A workaround to this issue is to just first create the dialog like this:

AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).setTitle(R.string.select_province).create();

and then set the listener directly to the dialog:

dialog.setOnDismissListener( new OnDismissListener() {
    public void onDismiss(DialogInterface arg0) {
   //== other stuff
} );

then if you also want to show it:

dialog.show();

the result is the same and all these methods are supported since API 1.

AlertDialog.setOnDismissListener (DialogInterface.OnDismissListener listener)

AlerDialog.Builder.create()
