For dismissing the PopupWIndow but not the root activity or view by backpress is to set the focus. popupWindow.setFocusable(true);

The popup window doesn't have focus so when pressing the back, it closes the main activity as the focus is on the main activity.

Don't use getApplicationContext() instead pass context or this.

LinearLayout myView = new LinearLayout(context or this);
