Android AlertDialog always exits when I click on OK Button

Question

Is there some way to do validation upon clicking ok. Im not dismissing it but it closes when I click Ok. I have written a custom AlertDialog that uses some edit texts. Probl

You can do this by overriding the onClickListener. The trick is to get the button after create and showing the dialog.

//  Create you dialog here and show it
...
dialog.show();

Button positiveButton = dialog.getButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE);
positiveButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View onClick) {
        //  Valid checking
        ...

        if (valid) {
            dialog.dismiss();
        } else {
            //  Not valid
        }

    }
});
