Close AlertDialog when window padding area clicked

I'm trying to close a dialog on click outside, but when I click on the area of the left or right side of dialog it doesn't get closed. I researched it a bit, and figured out that it's the padding of DecorView that creates that transparent space on sides, but I haven't found any way to make it clickable

Close AlertDialog when window padding area clicked
Sorry, you can't do this. Its not possible AFAIK. You should try with setCanceledOnTouchOutside
Sets whether this dialog is canceled when touched outside the window's
bounds. If setting to true, the dialog is set to be cancelable if not
already set.
dialogOBJ.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);

Do you try cancel on outside touch function like this
dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);

Try to add this line to your dialog:
dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);
And now the dialog will get closed when the user will click the screen.

Try this:
alertDialog.setOnTouchListener{
alertDialog.dismiss()
}

Prevent Dialog Box from being dismissed

There is a Dialog Box, how can I prevent it from being dismissed? I want not only the user enter a username but also prevent him/her from leaving the box empty?

dialog.setCancelable(false);
This function call will make your dialog dismissable by touch on the outside of the dialog. Moreover, you can control the actions of the positive and negative buttons. However if you have custom dialog with edit text in it then you should check the string that you get from edittext when user click the positive or negative button and not call dialog.dismiss(); method if string is empty. Hope it helps.

Try this code, it prevents user from dismissing the dialogue box
myDialog.setCancelable(false);

I need to lock my AlertDialog. Now, when my alertDialog is enable and when i click on the screen, my alertdialog closed. I need to wait the end of the progress bar to close my alertDialog. How i can do this? Thank

You just need to use alertdialog.setCancelable(false) so the dialog does not close when the user touches elsewhere on the screen, or touches the back button on their phone. After your progress bar completes, call alertdialog.dismiss() to close it.

alert dialog closing touch any where in the screen with out press yes or no

I am using alert dialog in my android app, which has a YES and a NO button.
I want the alert to close on clicking either YES or NO, but it is closing touch everywhere in the screen how to stop it.

Have you tried Dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false) ?

When does touching the screen outside an AlertDialog cancel the AlertDialog?

Suppose you have an AlertDialog with two buttons A and B. I have found that on some devices and some versions of android, if you touch any area of the screen around the dialog, the AlertDialog disappears. On other devices you are forced to select either A or B, so there is no way I can allow the user to cancel the action without adding a third ('Cancel') option to the AlertDialog. Is there any way to determine programmatically whether the third option is required?

You can control it with dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);
