Dialog: confirmation when dismissed
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
Topic: I want to be able to cancel a dismiss call on a dialog.
I am entering information thorugh a dialog. When data inside the dialog has changed and the user dismisses the dialog without saving (by pressing back or clicking outside of the dialog), I want to be able to prevent that dismis by showing a confirmation dialog, that asks the user if he really wants do dismiss the dialog.
An analagy for what I am looking for is in VBA, where the cancel-variable of a beforeSave-listener can be set to "true", so that the file is not saved, even though save is pressed.
I could not find a solution that I can place inside the dismissListener of the dialog.
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards!

You can maintain the state of dialog open/ close in a boolean and handle it. When you open the dialog you make it true and when user clicks back or outside the dialog check that boolean and show the alert pop-up and when dialog closes (dismisses) make boolean to false.

Hello Raj, I am not quite sure how this will work. Do you mean that I should reopen the dialog, when the boolean is a certain value?

Can you explain me how the content inside dialog you will be changing and saving in normal case? You will be placing edit text and button in dialog?

Hello Raj, exactly. I have a list view, and I open the individual elements of that list view with a dialog. The information of that item can be changed with the dialog.

alert.setCancelable(false); // where alert is instance of AlertDialog.Builder - you can use this to disable dialog close when clicking outside the dialog. As already mentioned in order to handle back press you must maintain a boolean when dialog open and close so that when back pressed onBackPressed() override method will be called where you can check boolean show a toast message if you need.

Ok, now I got it. Is there a way to do something similar, when a click occurs outside of the dialog?
