Code below will help you to display full screen dialog and it also set transparent color
Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
dialog.getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
dialog.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
// layout to display
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.about_program_dialog_layout);
// set color transpartent
dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
dialog.show();
about_program_dialog_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#55000000" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="227dp"
android:text="Dismiss" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="@+id/button1"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:layout_marginRight="63dp"
android:ems="10"
android:text="Hello There World" />
</RelativeLayout>
The following Mono for Android C# code does the trick (but should be easy to port to Java). I tested on Android 2.2 (Galaxy S) and Android 4.1 (Nexus 7). The only thing you would need to change are the layout IDs used for the parent view and dialog view.
[Activity (MainLauncher = true)]
public class TestCustomDialogActivity : FragmentActivity
{
public class MyDialogFragment : Android.Support.V4.App.DialogFragment
{
public override Android.Views.View OnCreateView(Android.Views.LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
// Android 3.x+ still wants to show title: disable
Dialog.Window.RequestFeature(WindowFeatures.NoTitle);
// CHANGE TO YOUR DIALOG LAYOUT or VIEW CREATION CODE
return inflater.Inflate(Resource.Layout.MyLayout, container, true);
}
public override void OnResume()
{
// Auto size the dialog based on it's contents
Dialog.Window.SetLayout(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WrapContent, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WrapContent);
// Make sure there is no background behind our view
Dialog.Window.SetBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.Transparent));
// Disable standard dialog styling/frame/theme: our custom view should create full UI
SetStyle(Android.Support.V4.App.DialogFragment.StyleNoFrame, Android.Resource.Style.Theme);
base.OnResume();
}
}
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
{
base.OnCreate(bundle);
// CHANGE TO YOUR MAIN SCREEN
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.MyDialog);
var dialog = new MyDialogFragment();
dialog.Show(SupportFragmentManager, "dialog");
}
}
