How to know when is clicked outside the dialog box - Android

Question

I am working with a dialog, and two negativeButton and positiveButton. Nevertheless, I would like to change the behaviour when pressing outside the box. I have checked, and all the questions I have found about this topic are about hiding the AlertDialog when clicking outside dialog.dimiss(), but this is not my question. I want to know if there is a listener which allows me to switch this behaviour (would like to call other methods and remove other variables).

JAVA

    AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(m_activity);
    alertDialogBuilder.setTitle("Navigation");
    alertDialogBuilder.setMessage("Choose Mode");
    alertDialogBuilder.setNegativeButton("Navigation", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialoginterface, int i) {
            m_navigationManager.startNavigation(m_route);
            m_map.setTilt(60);
            startForegroundService();
        }

        ;
    });
    alertDialogBuilder.setPositiveButton("Simulation", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialoginterface, int i) {
            m_activity.findViewById(R.id.address_form).setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
            m_navigationManager.simulate(m_route, 30);//Simualtion speed is set to 45 m/s
            m_map.setTilt(60);
            startForegroundService();
        }
    });

    AlertDialog alertDialog = alertDialogBuilder.create();
    alertDialog.show();

@You want click outside to call other methods but keep dialog from dismiss? — TaQuangTu, Apr 07 '20 at 12:57

You can add DismissListener for example:

alertDialogBuilder.setOnDismissListener(new DialogInterface.OnDismissListener() {
    @Override
    public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog) {

    }
});

This callback will be called when the dialog is dismissed for any reason (also when user choose "positive" or "negative button)!

Yes. But stackoverflow does not allow to set it as correct until 10 minutes after posting it. You were too fast :) – bellotas Apr 07 '20 at 13:02
Hah! Happy that helped :) – Boken Apr 07 '20 at 13:02
