how to dismiss dialog without using cancel?

Question

this dialog has two options. I want to dismiss a dialog by touching background but I don't know how.

public void dialog(  long id) {
    final int     position=(int) id;
        final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context);
        dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);      

        dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_checkbox);

        // set the custom dialog components - text, image and button

        Button yes = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.yes);
        Button no = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.no);

        yes.setTypeface(type);
        no.setTypeface(type);

        // if button is clicked, close the custom dialog
        yes.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

            String number=contactnumber.get(position);
            String name=contactname.get(position);
                 contactnumber.remove(position);
                 contactname.remove(position);
                 adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                 dialog.dismiss();
                 str="del";
                 delete(name, number);

            }});

        no.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {


                edit(position);
                dialog.dismiss();

                }});
dialog.show();
DisplayMetrics metrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
int width = metrics.widthPixels;
int height = metrics.heightPixels;
dialog.getWindow().setLayout((6 * width)/7, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);





    }

I use this but not work

LinearLayout background = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.back);
background.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
        SetBackground();
     // here I want to dismiss it after SetBackground() method 
      OptionDialog.dismiss();
    }
});

The method SetBackground() is undefined for the type new View.OnClickListener()

call last line inside `OptionDialog.dismiss();` method ...... — sushildlh, Aug 11 '16 at 06:25
I don't think you need to attach a click listener for the background. The dialog should close automatically when clicked outside of its bounds. — Shaishav, Aug 11 '16 at 06:25

You can use dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true); which will close the dialog if you touch outside of the dialog.
