AlertDialog won't dismiss

Hi,

Using this code, my AlertDialog won't dismiss, I have to hit Ok 3-4 times before it does.

	private void correctDialog(){
		final AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
		alertDialog.setTitle("Reset...");
		alertDialog.setMessage("Are you sure?");
		alertDialog.setButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
			public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
				alertDialog.dismiss();
			}
		});
		alertDialog.show();
	}

you don't really have to tell the dialog box to dismiss itself. it just runs whatever code you want and then it dismisses itself. for example, in one of my apps, i just set up a dialog to alert the user with a message that the list is empty and an OK button. the rest of my code handles what happens afterwards.

		if(results.isEmpty()) {
			new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
			.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
			.setTitle(R.string.strEmptyTitle)
			.setMessage(R.string.strEmptyMsg)
			.setPositiveButton(R.string.strDlgOK, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
			        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
			        	// do nothing
			        }
			}).show();
		}

Would the dismiss code cause it to make is so I have to hit it 4 times before it closes?

I took that like out of my code and it still loops.

I don't do Android, but I'm wondering which setButton method you are calling there . . . some have been deprecated. Do you feel like clarifying that?

did you take out the command where you call dismiss()? How did it go?

Java

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
