How to prevent a dialog (alert) from closing when you touch outside or press back using Anko

Question

I'm ussing kotlin and anko for creating an alert/dialog (code below), but when you tap outside or press back it closes.

Here is the code

alert("TITLE") {
    title("Text")
    positiveButton("Ok") { action() }
}.show()

Here is how the solution will be in java (without ussing anko too)

dialog.setCancelable(false); // for prevent on back pressed
dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false); // for prevent on touching outside

Any ideas on how to achieve this using kotlin and anko? Thanks :)

Answer 1

Anko library of kotlin, provides the functionality to prevent dialog to close when press outside the dialog.. There is cancellable(BOOLEAN) method of alert to provide this functionality.

I have used the below lines of code to stop alert dialog to close.

alert("Testing alerts") {
                title("Alert")
                cancellable(false)  ////SET TRUE/FALSE ACCORDING TO URS REQUIREMENT
                positiveButton {
                   ///PERFORM ANY TASK HERE
                    dismiss()
                }
                negativeButton {
                    dismiss()
                }
            }.show()
