How to create a fully customized Alert Dialog?

Question

Is there a solution to create an Alert Dialog with no borders around? If I create a layout and attach it to the Alert Dialog, I have my layout shown, but it's surrounded by the default dialog borders. Any way to cut them off? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Here is one way (if you don't like this particular example with the green border, scroll below to see a second one I found).

Here is another example (this one gives you an example without a border, and one with a border. The explanations are in Japanese, but the code is given for both.)

Hi if you use your own layout then set this in your styles.xml

<style name="Theme.Transparent_layout" parent="android:style/Theme.Dialog">
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>

</style>

and set this style in your manifest file

<activity android:name=".Main" android:theme="@style/Theme.Transparent_layout" />
