Cannot get DialogFragment to dismiss programmatically

Question

I have a DialogFragment that shows a list of items to pick from (similar to the attach dialog in Messaging).

My problem is that I cannot get this dialog to dismiss w

Answer 1

Why not use the methods available on AlertDialog.Builder to build the list, instead of creating your own ListView and populating it?

I have modified your sample code to show how this would work, and in this example the dialog dismiss() functions fine.

public Dialog onCreateDialog(android.os.Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
        builder.setSingleChoiceItems(mShareAdapter, 0, new OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                dialog.dismiss();
                if (listener != null) {
                    listener.newShare((ShareType) mShareAdapter.getItem(which));
                }
            }
        });
        builder.setTitle("Share which?");
        return builder.create();
    }
