Override the setOnCancelListener of the dialog or the activity onBackPressed depending on your application. Post your code for more accurate awnsers.

Just use the dialog.dismiss() method.

there is a default method present in android 2.1 and above called onBackButtonPressed(). it is a part of the activity class.... so in that method just do the following:

dialog.dismiss();

this will not do anything else.. but just close the dialog.

ProgressDialog dialog = ProgressDialog.show(context, "Venues", "Loading...", true, true,     new OnCancelListener() {

        @Override
        public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog) {
            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    } );
