How to show a dialog to confirm that the user wishes to exit an Android Activity?
This example demonstrates how do I show a dialog to confirm that the user wishes to exit an Android Activity.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:id="@+id/relativeLayout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:padding="16dp" tools:context=".MainActivity"> <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:text="Dialog to confirm that the user wishes to exit an Android Activity" android:textAlignment="center" android:textSize="24sp" android:textStyle="bold" /> </RelativeLayout>
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java
import androidx.appcompat.app.AlertDialog;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
newAlertDialog.Builder(this).setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
.setTitle("Closing Activity").setMessage("Are you sure you want to closethis activity?")
.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
finish();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Activity closed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}).setNegativeButton("No", null).show();
}
}Step 4 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml
