Problem with the auto-dismiss of dialog in setOnLongClickListener

view.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
                //Dismiss the dialog
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

view.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onLongClick(View view) {
            //Create the dialog
            return true;
        }
    });

Use setOnLongClickListener for creating the dialog and use setOnTouchListener for dismissing the dialog.

So you should add setOnTouchListener to the view. Call dialog.dismiss() when MotionEvent action is MotionEvent.ACTION_UP (user lifts his finger).

If the view is inside a scroll view the views onTouchListener does not get called. A simple solution is to add an onTouchListener to the scroll view and dismiss the dialog when user lifts his finger.

scrollView.setOnTouchListener( new View.OnTouchListener(){
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
                //Dismiss the dialog
                return true;
            }
            return false;
        }
    });
