How to dismiss a DialogFragment when pressing outside the dialog?

I am using a DialogFragment, and while I have successfully set an image to close (i.e. dismiss) the dialog when pressed, I am having a hard time finding the way to dismiss the dialog when the user clicks anywhere outside it, just as it works with normal dialogs. I thought there would be some sort of

dialogFragment.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);

call, but I don't see that in the documentation.

Is this possible with DialogFragment at all? Or am I looking in the wrong places? I tried intercepting touch events in the 'parent' activity but apart from not getting any touch event, it didn't seem right to me.

DialogFragment.getDialog().setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);

Must be called in onCreateView (as Apurv Gupta pointed out).

	@Override
	public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       ...
       getDialog().setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);
       ... 
       }

    /** The system calls this only when creating the layout in a dialog. */
    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // The only reason you might override this method when using onCreateView() is
        // to modify any dialog characteristics. For example, the dialog includes a
        // title by default, but your custom layout might not need it. So here you can
        // remove the dialog title, but you must call the superclass to get the Dialog.
        Dialog dialog = super.onCreateDialog(savedInstanceState);
        dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        dialog.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);

        return dialog;
    }

Lot of answers here but, the app crash when dialog opens. Writing getDialog().setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true); inside onCreateView did not work and crashed my app.

(I am using AppCompatActivity as my BaseActivity and android.app.DialogFragment as my Fragment).

What works is either of the two following lines:

> getDialog().setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);

OR > this.getDialog().setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);

inside onActivityCreated like

@Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
        //getDialog().getWindow().getAttributes().windowAnimations = R.style.DialogAnimationZoom;
        //getDialog().getWindow().setDimAmount(0.85f);
        getDialog().setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);//See here is the code
    }

What not to use:

> DialogFragment.getDialog().setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);

throws following error

And writing the code in onCreateView crashes the App! Please update the answer if you find something wrong.

If you want to execute some logic when clicking outside of a DialogFragment, just override the onCancel method.

override fun onCancel(dialog: DialogInterface) {
    super.onCancel(dialog)
    // Do your work here
}

DialogFragment.getDialog().setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);

It was mistyping. I had the same problem. This works fine for Java and Mono for android Mono will be:

this.getDialog().SetCanceledOnTouchOutside(false);

            Dialog.SetCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);

Worked for me
My Code

class dlgRegister : DialogFragment
        {
    public override View OnCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
            {
    ....
    ....
    }
    public override void OnActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState)
            {
                Dialog.Window.RequestFeature(WindowFeatures.NoTitle);
                Dialog.SetCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);
                base.OnActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
                Dialog.Window.Attributes.WindowAnimations =    Resource.Style.dialog_animation;
            }
    }

I would recommend to use my solution only after trying out above solutions. I have described my solution here. Just to brief, I am checking touch bounds of DialogFragment.getView(). When touch points are outside DialogFragment, I am dismissing the Dialog.
