AlertDialog not dismissing when touch outside

Question

I am trying to show an AlertDialog which could be dismissed with back button or touching outside the dialog. There are so many solutions over there and I know which the right one because I used it some time before. But now I can't achieve it. Here is my code:

AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity, R.style.AppTheme_Dark_Dialog).create();
//Some setup of the dialog...
...
//This works when I press the back button
alertDialog.setCancelable(true); 
//This should be the right answer of my problem
alertDialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true); 
alertDialog.show();

As I know, it's enough by calling this method with a true parameter value:

alertDialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);

But won't work. Can someone enlighten me please!?

Edit: some testing

As Ugas mentioned, I changed the device for testing, and it worked.

Android 5.1 (API 22): Not working
Android 9 (API 28): Working as expected

That [answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/13526778/7779712) prevent dialog from dismiss, I want to keep that behavior enabled. — IgniteCoders, Nov 19 '19 at 13:35
I also tried setting some flags in the dialog window, and nothing changed. — IgniteCoders, Nov 19 '19 at 13:39
I used `alertDialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);`so many time and always worked. I don't know if there's some new changes in newest Android versions or what. — IgniteCoders, Nov 19 '19 at 13:40
@IgniteCoders keep calm and try to change the device that you are running the app — Abdulkadir Ugas, Nov 19 '19 at 13:49
@Ugas do you know why this behavior changed from API 22 to API 28? — IgniteCoders, Nov 19 '19 at 17:02
