Remove black background on custom dialog

Question

I want to remove the black background on custom dialog as shown in the picture. I'm sure the black background was from the dialog, not from app's background.

AlertDialog code

public class MyAlertDialog extends AlertDialog { 
    public MyAlertDialog(Context context) 
    {  
        super(context); 
    }  

    public MyAlertDialog(Context context, int theme) 
    { super(context, theme); }
}

Activity code

public void showMyDialogOK(Context context, String s, DialogInterface.OnClickListener OkListener) {        
    MyAlertDialog myDialog = new MyAlertDialog(context, R.style.MyDialog2);        
    myDialog.setTitle(null); 
    myDialog.setMessage(s);        
    myDialog.setButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE ,"Ok", OkListener);
    myDialog.show();    
}

Styles

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <resources>
        <style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
            <item name="android:alertDialogStyle">@style/AlertDialog</item>  
        </style>

        </style> 

        <style name="AlertDialog">        
            <item name="android:fullDark">@null</item>

            <item name="android:buttonStyle">@style/CustomButton</item>  
        </style>    

        <style name="CustomButton" parent="@android:style/Widget.Button">        
            <item name="android:background">@drawable/button_stateful</item>

Answer 1

Try this:

myDialog.getWindow().clearFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);

Answer 2

After trying dozens of other solutions for this problem, what ended up working for me is:

<style name="translucentDialog" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Dialog">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
</style>

And then setting my dialog to use this theme.

Answer 3

you can create xml layout like following and set that layout on dialog(dialog.xml) :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView android:id="@+id/ScrollView01"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" style="@style/white_background_bl_aatharv">

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scrollbars="vertical"
        android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true" android:id="@+id/instructions_view">

        <TextView android:id="@+id/TextView01" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
            android:text="text here " />
    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

here is the code to set layout on alert dialog :

AlertDialog alert = cndtnsbuilder.create();
alert.setView(LayoutInflater.from(
currentactivity.this).inflate(
R.layout.dialog, null));
alert.show();

Answer 4

 dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));

Answer 5

public MyAlertDialog(
        Context context, 
        int theme
    ) extends AlertDialog { 

    super(context, theme);
    getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));
}

Answer 6

To remove the background color, on layout, you just need to set the background to @null

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@null">
