setCancelable(boolean cancelable) : Sets whether the dialog is cancelable or not. Read More.

myDialogue.setCancelable(false);

You just need to set cancelable to false, so that when on touch outside the dialog will remain open as it is. Try this in your code:

myDialogue.setCancelable(false);

set the cancelable property false

private void displayDialogue(){
final AlertDialog.Builder myDialogue = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
myDialogue.setMessage("Please check your voice input output settings.It should be ON" );
TextView messageView = new TextView(this);
messageView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
myDialogue.setView(messageView);

myDialogue.setCancelable(false);

myDialogue.setPositiveButton("OK",  new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
{

    @Override
    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
        Intent i = new Intent(Dialogue.this, MainActivity.class);
        startActivity(i);
        finish();
    }
});

AlertDialog dialog = myDialogue.create();
dialog.show();
}

You probably already got this but for future people this worked for me: you can override outside touches to do nothing on the dialog as shown in here https://stackoverflow.com/a/5831214
