Android dialog : Is there a way to make background

Question

Currently, I am using Libgdx for making app with lots of animation. I am trying to use android Dialog for showing paragraph with html tags through Interface. While, I can change dim color of background UI back to normal with following code.

paragraphDialog.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);

Is there anything I can do to make background UI work? (Button click, textview focus etc)

And, I have tried GlyphLayout of Libgdx for paragraph. It frequently crashes & also doesn't support html tags. I am using dialogs, as it is pretty easy to use xml layout easily with dialogs. If there are any other options, Please suggest.

Thanks,

your dialog is blocking the entire screen, doesn't matter if the edges/background are somewhat transparent or not 100% alpha, it is still the view that is currently on top. therefor, you can't click on it directly.

i think the best way to achieve your goal is with a fragment. not a dialog.
