How do I override dismiss() in Dialog ? Android

Question

I want to do some data checking after dialog.dismiss() or dialog.cancel is called.

How should I go about doing this?

Are there any overrides, Listener or methods that i can implement to do some action then dismiss the Dialog?

I tried dialog.setOnDismissListener but that dismisses the dialog first then calls this listener.

Whatever code you write after dialog.dismiss(); it will get executed you don't need any listener i guess — Akshay Katariya, Aug 01 '17 at 06:35
Why don't you just overwrite `dismiss()` and place your code before or after `super.dismiss()`? — mbo, Aug 01 '17 at 06:38

You could create your own custom Dialog with a DialogFragment and just overwrite dismiss().

public class CustomDialog extends DialogFragment {

    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Build the alert dialog
        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
        builder.setMessage(R.string.dialog_fire_missiles);
        return builder.create();
    }

    @Override
    public void dismiss() {
        // Do your stuff here
        super.dismiss();
    }

    ...
}

Take a look here https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html

For me this still doesn't work, when I arrive in Dismiss the dialog is already dismissed even before super.dismiss(); NB: I am using Xamarin — Guillaume Martin, Dec 18 '19 at 16:32
