Question

In Flutter i write simple dialog for loader during async task. when i touch outside dialog dismissed, How can I stop this behaviour?

Code

    context: context,
    builder: (_) => new Dialog(
          child: new Container(
            alignment: FractionalOffset.center,
            height: 80.0,
            padding: const EdgeInsets.all(20.0),
            child: new Row(
              mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
              children: [
                new CircularProgressIndicator(),
                new Padding(
                  padding: new EdgeInsets.only(left: 10.0),
                  child: new Text("Loading"),
                ),
              ],
            ),
          ),
        ));

Any help will be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Answer 1

There's a property called barrierDismissible that you can pass to showDialog ; which makes dialogs dismissible or not on external click

showDialog(
  barrierDismissible: false,
  builder: ...
)

Answer 2

If you want to prevent dialog close when back button pressed then refer below code. You have to wrap your AlertDialog in WillPopScope widget and make onWillPop property value with function which return Future.value(false).

showDialog(
      barrierDismissible: false,
      context: context,
      builder: (BuildContext context) {
        return WillPopScope(
            onWillPop: () => Future.value(false),
            child:AlertDialog(
            title: new Text("Alert Title"),
            content: new SingleChildScrollView(
              child: Container(),),
            actions: <Widget>[
              new FlatButton(
                child: new Text("Close"),
                onPressed: () {
                },
              ),
            ],
          )
        )
      },
    );

Answer 3

just Add this Line

barrierDismissible: false,

like as

       showDialog(
        barrierDismissible: false,
        context: context,
        builder: (BuildContext context) {
          return AlertDialog(
            title: Text(
              "Classes",
              style: TextStyle(
                  fontSize: 24, color: Colors.black, fontFamily: 'intel'),
            ),
            content: setupAlertDialoadClassList(
                context, listClasses, Icons.class__outlined, 0),
          );
        });

Answer 4

Always use top flutter packages like get

Get.generalDialog(pageBuilder: (BuildContext context, Animation<double> animation, Animation<double> secondaryAnimation,) {
      return SimpleDialog(
        ...
      );
    }, barrierDismissible: false /* its default value */);

Answer 5

barrierDismissible: false,

Use this one as I described below. showDialog( barrierDismissible: false, builder // code //

Answer 6

This will disable device navigation

showDialog(
      barrierDismissible: false,
      context: context,
      builder: (BuildContext context) {
        return WillPopScope(
            onWillPop: () async => false,
            child:AlertDialog(
            title: new Text("Alert Title"),
            content: new SingleChildScrollView(
              child: Container(),),
            actions: <Widget>[
              new FlatButton(
                child: new Text("Close"),
                onPressed: () {
                },
              ),
            ],
          )
        )
      },
    );

If you ar not using a showDialog, otherwise you'r using GestureDetectore, there's a easy way i just did, Just put a GestureDetector inside another one, then set the onTap action if that's your case on both GestureDetector's, with the diference that in one you are gonna put an action, an in the other one you can just leave it empty, just like this.

GestureDetector(
    onTap: () { //The Gesture you dont want to afect the rest
      Navigator.pop(context);
    },
    child: Container(
      color: Colors.transparent,
      child:GestureDetector(
            onTap: () {}, //This way is not going to afect the inside widget
            child: Container() //your widget
            )
          )
        )
