Message dismissal

This reference article covers in-app messaging dismissal for your Android or FireOS application.

Disabling back button dismissal

By default, the hardware back button dismisses Braze in-app messages. This behavior can be disabled on a per-message basis via BrazeInAppMessageManager.setBackButtonDismissesInAppMessageView().

In the following example, disable_back_button is a custom key-value pair set on the in-app message that signifies whether the message should allow for the back button to dismiss the message:

BrazeInAppMessageManager.getInstance().setCustomInAppMessageManagerListener(new DefaultInAppMessageManagerListener() {
  @Override
  public void beforeInAppMessageViewOpened(View inAppMessageView, IInAppMessage inAppMessage) {
    super.beforeInAppMessageViewOpened(inAppMessageView, inAppMessage);
    final Map<String, String> extras = inAppMessage.getExtras();
    if (extras != null && extras.containsKey("disable_back_button")) {
      BrazeInAppMessageManager.getInstance().setBackButtonDismissesInAppMessageView(false);
    }
  }

  @Override
  public void afterInAppMessageViewClosed(IInAppMessage inAppMessage) {
    super.afterInAppMessageViewClosed(inAppMessage);
    BrazeInAppMessageManager.getInstance().setBackButtonDismissesInAppMessageView(true);
  }
});

    super.beforeInAppMessageViewOpened(inAppMessageView, inAppMessage)
    val extras = inAppMessage.extras
    if (extras != null && extras.containsKey("disable_back_button")) {
      BrazeInAppMessageManager.getInstance().setBackButtonDismissesInAppMessageView(false)
    }
  }

  override fun afterInAppMessageViewClosed(inAppMessage: IInAppMessage) {
    super.afterInAppMessageViewClosed(inAppMessage)
    BrazeInAppMessageManager.getInstance().setBackButtonDismissesInAppMessageView(true)
  }
})

Dismiss modal on outside tap

The default and historical value is false, meaning clicks outside the modal will not close the modal. Setting this value to true will result in the modal in-app message being dismissed when the user taps outside of the in-app message. This behavior can be toggled on by calling:
