How to make a custom dialog transparent?

Question

I need to make my custom dialog transparent.

How can I do that?

Solution 1

You can also use following line in constructor

getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(0));

Solution 2

To make the background of the Dialog transparent you just need to set the theme of dialog to be android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar. eg:-

new AlertDialog.Builder(context, android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar).show();

to setBackgroundDrawable you would need a ColorDrawable and in this case @Tarun Nagpal has the correct way of doing this.
