Android - Make the background part of the Dialog available

Question

I am creating an AlertDialog as follows.

I fix the dialog view to the bottom of the screen. Average width: 400, height: 200 dimensions. (Actually I want it to be something like Admob-banner)
I always want the screen I started with show () to remain visible and the screen behind the dialog to be usable. So I made the background transparent for the user.

However, there is a problem. Dialog background cannot be clicked. How do I make the background available while the dialog remains on the screen? Also, I don't want the dialog to be closed when the user is using the background.

TestBannerDialog.kt

import android.app.AlertDialog
import android.app.Dialog
import android.content.Context
import android.graphics.Color
import android.graphics.drawable.ColorDrawable
import android.os.Bundle
import android.os.CountDownTimer
import android.view.Gravity
import android.view.View
import android.view.WindowManager

class TestBannerDialog(context: Context) : Dialog(context, false, null) {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.test_banner_dialog)
        setCanceledOnTouchOutside(false)

        window?.let {
            it.attributes.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM
            it.setBackgroundDrawable(ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT))
        }
       
    }
}

test_banner_dialog.xml

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="80dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_marginBottom="24dp">

    <ImageView ....... />

    <TextView ....... />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

@a_local_nobody Sorry, I added it accidentally while making corrections and reviews. I lifted it back. — Ümit Bülbül, Feb 17 '21 at 12:54
This is the nature of the dialog , for what you want to achieve i suggest use a `CoordinatorLayout` with either a custom view to control the behavior or simply hardcode it in the layout file. — AkkixDev, Feb 17 '21 at 13:21
@Akki Yes, this good method can be used, but isn't there a method that I can use in different places without adding it to the layout, as simple as show() as in the dialog? — enjektor0, Feb 17 '21 at 13:53

This way you can use something and then add it to the layout of the screen you want it to appear.

class TestBannerView @JvmOverloads constructor(context: Context,
                                                          attrs: AttributeSet? = null,
                                                          defStyle: Int = 0,
                                                          defStyleRes: Int = 0) : FrameLayout(context, attrs, defStyle, defStyleRes) {
init {
    LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.test_banner_view, this, true)
     }
}
