Answer 1

You can not remove border from alert dialog.

use this

public class ActivityIndicator extends Dialog implements android.view.View.OnClickListener{
protected static final String TAG = InfoIndicator.class.getName();
ImageView close;
WebView info;

      public ActivityIndicator (Context context,String information) 
       {
          super(context, android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar);
          requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
          setContentView(R.layout.info);
          setCancelable(true);
           }
}

and try this below function for show, hide and clear dialog

private static ActivityIndicator activityIndicator;

public static void hideActivityViewer() {
    if (activityIndicator != null) {
        activityIndicator.dismiss();
    }
    activityIndicator = null;
}

public static void showActivityViewer(Context context) {
    if (activityIndicator == null)
    {
        activityIndicator = new ActivityIndicator(context);
    }
    activityIndicator.show();

}
public static void clearDialogs()
{
    activityIndicator = null;
}

Answer 2

You need to design a custom dialog for this purpose :

**dialog.xml**

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/txt_view_SaveAs"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/save_as"
    android:layout_margin="10dp"
    android:textSize="25dp" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/edit_txt_SaveAs"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:minWidth="300dp"
    android:maxLines="1"
    android:textSize="20dp"
    android:maxLength="50"
    android:layout_margin="10dp"
    android:text="@string/save_as" />

<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_margin="10dp"
    android:weightSum="1.0" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_SaveAs"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_weight="0.5"
        android:minWidth="100dp"
        android:textSize="20dp"
        android:text="@string/save"
        android:layout_margin="3dp" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_Cancel"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:layout_weight="0.5"
        android:minWidth="100dp"
        android:textSize="20dp"
        android:text="@string/cancel"
        android:layout_margin="3dp" />

</LinearLayout>

You can then make different class for the particular dialog like this:

public class SaveDialog extends Dialog implements android.view.View.OnClickListener {

private Context context;

private TextView txt_view_SaveAs;
private EditText edit_txt_SaveAs;
private Button btn_SaveAs;
private Button btn_Cancel;

public SaveDialog(Context context) {
    super(context);
    this.context = context;
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.dialog);

    setCancelable(true); // Setting the Dialog to be Cancellable on Back Key Press

    txt_view_SaveAs = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt_view_SaveAs);
    edit_txt_SaveAs = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_txt_SaveAs);
    btn_SaveAs = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_SaveAs);
    btn_SaveAs.setOnClickListener(this);
    btn_Cancel = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_Cancel);
    btn_Cancel.setOnClickListener(this);
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
        // Write code for all the buttons on click methods
}
}

Then you can call the custom dialog in your main class by using the following code :

SaveDialog save_dialog = new SaveDialog(saving_activity);
save_dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
save_dialog.show();

Answer 3

Use Dialog instead of AlertDialog

Dialog callAlert = new Dialog(LoginActivity.this,R.style.CutomDialog);  
callAlert.setContentView(R.layout.call);

Style.xml

<style name="CutomDialog" parent="android:style/Theme.Dialog">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/Animations.DialogAnimation</item>
</style>

call.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
 android:background="@drawable/call_bg"></RelativeLayout>

call_bg.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<stroke android:width="3dp" android:color="#A20B3F" />

<corners android:bottomRightRadius="4dp" android:bottomLeftRadius="4dp" 
 android:topLeftRadius="4dp" android:topRightRadius="4dp"/> 

Main thing is that you have to make layout backgrpund transparent otherwise you will not able to get output as you want.

Answer 4

you can use popwindow for more style by yourself

Answer 5

Use Dialog instead of AlertDialog.

Create your custom layout which you want to show in dialog and setContent in dialog. Apply this theme android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar in dialog it will hide border.

Here is sample code.

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(activity.this, android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar);

// your layout file
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog);

// for hide title 
dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

//for set title
dialog.setTitle("Custom Dialog");


dialog.show();

Updated:

just tried this in AlertDialog.

AlertDialog.Builder alertSeverity = new AlertDialog.Builder(
           getActivity(), android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar);

Answer 6

try the next solution:

extend from dialog, and set the exact view to use by using setContentView .

the alertDialog is used for some functionalities. it's not that it can do anything you want.

maybe instead of extending you could take the dialog and then use the setContentView.
