Prevent AlertDialog from closing

Question

I have a custom AlertDialog with a bunch of checkboxes. I want to prevent the AlertDialog from closing if none of the checkboxes are selected. Is this possible?

I know I can close momentarily and re-open it, but I would rather not do this as I have some code within the setPositiveButton which I do not want to repeat.

Thanks.

I'm assuming you're using a custom view, so disable the OK/Cancel buttons at the bottom. Next you'll need to disable the back button:

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {}

The only thing left is to make sure your dialog fills the screen. If the user clicks beside the box on the parent view the dialog will close.

I already have setCancelable to false. My problem is that I want to stop it from closing when the PositiveButton is pressed if the none of the checkboxes are ticked. – Rhiokai Jan 21 '13 at 19:39
