Show dialog as main window, with transparent background

Postby Azlum » Fri Apr 10, 2009 5:05 pm

Hey guys...

First of all, sorry if I'm just a retard here.... I'm JUST getting started coding java, and until 2 days ago I hadn't touched a line of code in over 10 years.

Anyways... I'm trying to write an app and when launched I want it to open a dialog, but without having a black activity behind it. I just want the dialog to pop up so it looks like you haven't left the home screen.

So far I THINK I'm going about this wrong to begin with... but you guys will know better than me... I'm just gonna paste the code I have and maybe you guys can help me out?

Thanks SO much in advance!

Nevermind... I WAS going about it the wrong way altogether.... I should have made the activity itself the dialog by using android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" in the manifest.

Thanks anyways!
