Prevent back button from closing a dialog box

Question

I am trying to prevent an AlertDialog box from closing when pressing the back button in Android. I have followed both of the popular methods in this thread, and with System.out.

Answer 1

Only this worked for me:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
builder.setTitle(title);
builder.setMessage(content);

/**
 * Make it when the Back button is pressed, the dialog isn't dismissed.
 */
builder.setOnKeyListener(new DialogInterface.OnKeyListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onKey(DialogInterface dialog, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
        if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK && event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP) {
            Utilities.makeToast(getContext(), "There is no way back!");
            return true; // Consumed
        }
        else {
            return false; // Not consumed
        }
    }
});

Dialog dialog = builder.create();

/**
 * Make it so touching on the background activity doesn't close the dialog
 */
dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);

return dialog;

As you can see, I also added a dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false); line so tapping outside of the dialog doesn't result in it being closed either.
