Android AlertDialog button click

Question

I got an AlertDialog that has one positive and negative button each. Within the onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) event handler, which is a member function of Activity, how do I tell which button has been clicked? Base on my observation, the "item" parameter has -1 as value if positive button is clicked, or -2 if it's negative button. However, I couldn't find any information on such from API doc hence I feel that this could be broken at any time.

AlertDialog's positive and negative buttons use the DialogInterface.OnClickListener interface to respond to selection. Like you said, the onClick method of this callback looks like this:

public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
  // ...
}

The which parameter indicates which button was clicked and can have, among others, the following values: 1) AlertDialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE (-1) 2) AlertDialog.BUTTON_NEGATIVE (-2)

So, you clicked the positive button if which is -1 and the negative if which is -2.
