Transparent AlertDialog has black background

Question

I have a custom AlertDialog style that makes the AlertDialog box transparent. It works fine except that when I inflate my desired transparent layo

Answer 1

Those who are having still problem creating custom transparent dialog or alert dialog, can use this combination. I also wanted to show custom background this is what worked for me.

getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);
getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));

example:-

/**
 * alert dialog
 */

    public class ToolTipView extends AlertDialog {

        public ToolTipView(@NonNull Context context) {
            super(context);
            getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);
            getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
        }

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.dialog_tool_tip_view);
        }

    }
