AlertDialog disappears when touch is outside [Android] [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can override the default function for the Dialogue and assure nothing happens. Should work fine.

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    // If we've received a touch notification that the user has touched
    // outside the app, finish the activity.
    if (MotionEvent.ACTION_OUTSIDE == event.getAction()) {
    // Do Something or not...
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

Or for better practice:

builder.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false)
