I used dialog theme for an Activity and it works fine on Android <= 4.3 but not on the latest KitKat 4.4. Here\'s a screenshot of the problem:
I have a similar problem, but with using a custom dialog. Unfortunately, I couldn't post my screenshot here.
I tested with a few different options, and looks like running the parent activity in fullscreen mode affects this. If I remove the following code, the dialog seems to work fine.
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
I noticed this after getting the 4.4 KitKat update on a Google Nexus 7 (first version). Also, it doesn't seem to make a difference if I have the dialog's title present or not.
