Disabling the back button with an alertbox?

Question

I have an alert box for a log in and when ever the back button is pressed the alert box disappears. I've tried @Override public void onBackPressed() { // do nothing. } @Override public void onBackPressed() { // do nothing. } but it still just stops the back on the activity not the alertbox. Is there something special i have to do to disable the back button on the alertbox?

Answer 1

I believe setCancelable() is intended for this...
