    For some reason starting with ICS they made the default `setCanceledOnTouchOutside()` to `true`. The change doesn't seem to be documented anywhere (no surprise). Just clarification for anyone reading. – Tony Chan Sep 13 '12 at 21:13

Check this method from the Android Developers site for dialog.

Try using the

dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside (boolean cancel)

Pass a boolean value to enable/disable dialog behaviour when touched outside of the dialog window.

Also go through these links:

How do I fire an event when click occurs outside a dialog

How to cancel an Dialog themed like Activity when touched outside the window?

I hope this answers your question.

You may use 

dialog.setCancelable(true/false);

OR 

dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true/false);

For the latest vesrions of Android;

It will disable outSideTouching event.

    yes we can but that will disable cancellation of dialog on back key press.. many of the times you dont want ur dialog to get cancelled when touched outside but u want to handle the back key press events for dialog.. – nishi Jan 22 '14 at 07:47
  • Yes you are right @nishi . So I edited my answer and added a new option setCancelOnTouchOutSide(T/F) event :P – Amt87 Jan 22 '14 at 10:51

dialog.setCancelable(false)

Dialog CAN NOT cancel when touch out side OR press BACK key

dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false)

Dialog CAN NOT cancel when touched outside BUT ABLE to canceled when press BACK key
