Create a transparent dialog on top of activity
Just change the background color of your Dialog:
dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));Edit:
This prevents the dim effect:
dialog.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);
Just add this, it really works!
<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item> <item name="android:windowCloseOnTouchOutside">true</item> <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:drawable/alert_dark_frame</item> <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item> <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item> <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item> <item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">false</item>
