onKeyDown not showing dialog

Question

In my app I tried to override onKeyDown method and called custom dialog but when running onto device its not showing that custom dialog. I used debugger and seen that onKeyDown method is called but dialog is not appearing and app exits itself.

This is my onKeyDown method,

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
    if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK))
    {
        LayoutInflater factory = LayoutInflater.from(FirstScreenActivity.this);

        View DialogView = factory.inflate(R.layout.exit_dialog, null);

        final Dialog exit_dialog = new Dialog(FirstScreenActivity.this,R.style.Theme_Dialog);
        exit_dialog.setContentView(DialogView);
        exit_dialog.show();
        Button btnYes = (Button) exit_dialog.findViewById(R.id.btnYes);
        btnYes.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
        {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) 
            {
                android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());
            }
        });
        Button btnNo = (Button) exit_dialog.findViewById(R.id.btnNo);
        btnNo.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
        {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) 
            {
                exit_dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

And also getting this error in LogCat,

Please help.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You are finishing Activity when the Dialog is showing.

This lines leads to finish your Activity

return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);

At that time You are displaying Dialog which leads to leak your Dialog window.

Change this line

return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);

into

return false;

otherise overeride onBackpressed() and write this logic..
