Setting the backgroung of a Dialog box as transparent

Question

I am working on an android application that allows user to add an edit text dynamically. I have been able to add the edit text using an alert dialog. But I need to make the dialog box transparent .I need to be able to see the imageview in the background. Color.Transparent wont work because my background is an image

I'm confused..do you want set the background of the edittext as transparent or the dialog background? — Renan Bandeira, Aug 06 '13 at 09:49

You can try this

  <EditText
      android:id="@+id/purpose_textfield"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:background="@null"/>

Looks like the user was asking about Dialog's background! – Andro Selva Aug 06 '13 at 10:06

Try this:

Dialog mDialog = new Dialog(mContext, android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar_Fullscreen);

or

mDialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(0));

Instead of Using alert Dialog Box, i prefer you to use Dialog box:

And use this code:

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(getBaseContext, android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar_Fullscreen);
