How to handle AlertDialog close event?

Question

Is there a callback when an AlertDialog is closed using the touch outside event? I have this enabled "setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true)". I want to set a visibility of a specific view once the AlertDialog is closed using the touch outside event. Any ideas?

I am using the AlertDialog.Builder() inside a Fragment if that helps.

an OnDismissListener seems most appropriate, but it requires a relatively high API level, so you might need to stick with an OnCancelListener instead.

Thanks, I was looking at the AlertDialog documentation. That was really a quick one. – Aivan Monceller Jan 29 '14 at 17:46

AlertDialog.Builder.setOnDismissListener() is API level 17, but Dialog.setOnDismissListener() is API level 1 and has the same effect. – Christian d'Heureuse Aug 03 '15 at 01:33

I post Kotlin version because i was looking for it today and i had hard time

val builder = AlertDialog.Builder(requireContext())

builder.setTitle("title")
builder.setMessage("message")

builder.setOnCancelListener {  func->Log.i("meh","meh") }

If you are within custom dialog class, and wish to catch 'clicked outside dialog' event - override cancel(). If you wish to catch any'dialog closed' event - override dismiss(). I recommend inserting logic BEFORE super.dismiss(). Kotlin example:

override fun dismiss() {
    Utils.hideKeyboard(mContext, window)
    super.dismiss()
}
