Answer 1

you could make a new shape drawable resource and set color of it transparent :

then you can add these simple lines in your dialog class onCreate method :

getWindow().setLayout(WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);  
getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.drawable.drawble_resource_you_made_before);

don't forget to put your dialog layout resource background white or any color you want then you could easily by editing your dialog layout resource and customize it :)
