Interaction between dismiss and cancel alert dialog android

I have already read some answers on similar discussions but none of them address this directly. I have an alert dialog which i want to do some action when it is dismissed. No matter how it was dismissed (pressing back button or touching outside of the dialog).

Which listener should i set? Dimiss listener or cancel lister or both? I want to do a activity finish() so if both methods will run one after another the app might crash.

Also, is there a way to block so the user CANNOT close the dialog (like overriding the dismiss and setting something false).

Thank you

You should add both listeners here. And in both listeners callback you can call your desired action.

And, you can set it non cancelable, see this -

U can have a listener 

dialog.setOnDismissListener(new OnDismissListener() {

            @Override
            public void onDismiss(DialogInterface arg0) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                       finish();
            }
        });

this will do your job..

and if you want dialog cannot dismiss you have

dialog.setCancelable(false);
