Ok I am going crazy over this. I am trying to change alert dialog background color from the default grey to white. I am unable to do so. I am using alert dialog with list
I have extended the parent theme.dialog style and I have tried so many combinations of attributes but I keep getting the white background not only for the list but beyond the dialf boundries (as if the width is fill parent)
When i set the color to transparent then the dialog appears nicely with the list in grey. It seems that the dialog window is transparent and it is fill parent but the list is the one with thegrey colorand thats probably why we dont see the full dialog
How can I fix this??

I looked through forums and SO and find many examples on how to display a dialog with a blurred and dim background which I put in place in my app. The issue I have now is when I want to display a second dialog on top of the previous one but still keeping both on the screen. The effect I would like is to dim and blur the background a second time when the second pop-up shows up. But what it does at the moment is blurring the activity again and not blurring the dialog that is still showing in the background.
So my question would be, is it possible to blur a dialog, when opening another dialog? If yes how could I do this? (Make sure you read the question well... I know how to blur the activity, the question is how to blur the dialog already shown on screen when I open a new dialog on top of it....)
Thanks very much
you can create fullscreen dialog with custom layout which consist from
real dialog content and blurred transparent part outside which would blur and overlay all background views.
This image is of alert box covering full screen with transparent orange background
you'd have to create it yourself. alerts can't be style.
Just make a div that displays when it's needed to, and disapears when they click yes/no...
Is there a way to draw a dialog with a button that looks like it exceeds the dialog's border. e.g. a Close button (X) that is half on the dialog and half way out of it. I have tried to keep an area on the dialog transparent to create the effect but the dialog still shows its border line. Is there a nice way to do it?
Thanks,

I want to create a dialog with transparent BG and no border.
For this I use android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar.
But in the dialog I have UI componenets - imageview and edittext.
I want these to create a shade over the activity page. Like the regular dialog is doing.
Any ideas how?
I think that you'll create a custom dialog, this link shows you how to do this http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/dialogs.html
Hi,
I need to create a UI such that an image view appears at the edge of an alert dialog. Please find below the steps in detail.
I click on a button in activity.
Alert dialog windows should slide from the right to the center.
In the edge of the dialog window, i have an image.
I am done till step 2. I don't know how to place an UI such that half of that appears on the dialog view. Please refer to the image i have provided.
Please provide me with the code samples or pointers for implementing the same. Thanks.
Try using frame layout
A dialog is usually a small window that appears in front of the current Activity. The underlying Activity loses focus and the dialog accepts all user interaction.
So, I doubt if such an effect can be obtained in a dialog.
However, I tried using absolute layout as dialog's content view to create a custom dialog and moved the imageview to an edge by altering the layout parameter. That showed only the portion of the imageview that could fit into the dialog and the rest was not visible.
