If you are using a DialogFragment you can use the answer posted here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8404140 — dymmeh, Dec 04 '12 at 17:06
Why don't you use a dialogfragment? it seems like that would make more sense anyways since you want to have it appear like a dialog and behave like one.. — dymmeh, Dec 04 '12 at 17:35
yes it seems more useful, i try it,but my application crashes with error illegalstateexception with dialog fragment. — Sultan Zeybek, Dec 04 '12 at 18:23

place the login layout inside a transparent, full screen layout, and detect touch events on the larger layout.

Hi again =) i solve this problem using OnTouchListener on my Homepage activity.I have an gridviews background in my homepage layout and if the user doesn't login, onTouch() method runs.When the login fragment is visible and the user touch outside of it my hideLoginFragment() method calling for dismissing the fragment..

gridView = (ShelvesView) findViewById(R.id.grid_shelves);
gridView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                        if (application.getDbManager().getUser().key.equals("-1")){
                    hideLoginFragment();
                    loginButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                    exitButton.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);}
                return false;
            }
        });

I think better way is removing fragment in order to release memory resources.

My solution is having having this method in fragment:

private void closeFragment() {
        getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(YOUR_FRAGMENT.this).commit();
    }
