How to keep an alertdialog open after button onclick is fired? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Same problem for me in a FragmentDialog. Here's my criminal/elegant solution: Remove all buttons from the dialog (positive,negative,neutral). Add your buttons from the xml.eg.:

And then in your code handle it with:

view.findViewById(R.id.button_ok).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View view2) {
                    if (wannaClose)
                        dismiss();
                    else
                        //do stuff without closing!
                }
            });

where view is the view assigned to the dialog!
