Can't use onDismiss() when using custom dialogs - Android

Question

I'm working on a little program, and I need to add a custom dialog that passes some info to the calling acitivity when it closes. I extended the dialog class, and when I try to capture the custom dialog when it closes,using an onDismiss listener, it never reaches it because I used a custom dialog.

This is part of my activity -

    .
    .
    .
       attributes customizeDialog = new attributes(con,position,pick.getLastVisiblePosition());
        customizeDialog.show();

(The attributes being the name of the class that extends the dialog class).

Here is the event listener I set up when the dialog finishes -

    customizeDialog.setOnDismissListener(new DialogInterface.OnDismissListener() {

        @Override
        public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog) {
            Log.v("LOG_CAT",attributes.selectedIndexes.get(0) + " " + attributes.selectedIndexes.get(1) + " " + attributes.selectedIndexes.get(2) + " " + attributes.selectedIndexes.get(3) + " " + attributes.selectedIndexes.get(5) + " ");
    }

});

I know i'm doing it wrong,I just don't know how to fix it.

I would really appreciate any help with this problem.

Thanks!

I tend to have my activity implement listeners like this...

public class MyActivity extends Activity
    implements DialogInterface.OnDismissListener {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        attributes customizeDialog = new attributes(con,position,pick.getLastVisiblePosition());
        customizeDialog.setOnDismissListener(this);
        customizeDialog.show();
    }

    @Override
    public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog) {
        // Do whatever
    }
}
