Thanks a lot, I tried with Theme.Dialog

But in my code, there is 2 different floating windows : my layout and the tile. Here is the following code:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.app.Dialog; 

public class language extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       // setContentView(R.layout.main);
        Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this); 
        dialog.setContentView(R.layout.main); 
        dialog.setTitle("Raygional"); 
        dialog.show();

    }
}

PS : I know this should be a question rather than an answer
