How to dismiss PopupWindow when clicked outside?

In one of my activity, there is a button, which when clicked opens a PopupWindow. My intention is, when the PopupWindow is opened and user clicks anywhere on screen except the popup area, the PopupWindow should be dismissed.

For this I have set:

// onClick()
myPopupWindow.setOutsideTouchable(true);
myPopupWindow.setFocusable(false);

Issue is it works fine & PopupWindow gets dismissed when I click anywhere outside, but if I click on the button that generated this PopupWindow, then that event is consumed and PopupWindow first gets closed and then gets opened again.

I tried moving my button onclick() code to onTouch(). But if I return true, then button consumes every event & opens popup again and again, even with slightest drag while touching the screen. If I return false, it behaves same as in onClick() & opens the popup again when button is touches back.

So how can I dismiss the PopupWindow even when clicked on the button?

I solved a similar problem as follows:

      settingsImageButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            if (!settingsMenu.isShowing()) {
                settingsMenu.showAsDropDown(settingsImageButton);
                settingsImageButton.setEnabled(false);
            }
        }
    });
    settingsMenu.setOnDismissListener(new PopupWindow.OnDismissListener() {
        @Override
        public void onDismiss() {
            new AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>() {
                @Override
                protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
                    return null;
                }

                @Override
                protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
                    super.onPostExecute(s);
                    settingsImageButton.setEnabled(true);
                }
            }.execute();
        }
    });

I call the method setEnabled() asynchronously, because onDismiss event is earlier than onClick event.

Just disable that button after it has been clicked so that it can't be clicked when the pop-up window is displaying. button.setEnabled(false);
