Custom Alertdialog Borders

I am creating a custom dialog. Its example code is: final AlertDialog dialog; protected AlertDialog createDialog(int dialogId) { AlertDialog.Builder builder; builder = new

Solution 1:

I don't think you can remove the borders by using AlertDialog.Builder.

What you can do is create a CustomDialog class that extends Dialog and in the constructor of your CustomDialog you inflate your customdialog.xml.

Also you will need to create a custom style for your dialog, that hides the borders. Here is an example:

<stylename="CustomStyle"parent="android:Theme.Dialog"><itemname="android:windowBackground">@color/transparent</item><itemname="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item></style>

Also define the transparent color:

<colorname="transparent">#00000000</color>

And you will create your dialog using :

    CustomDialog dialog=newCustomDialog(this,R.style.CustomStyle);

Solution 2:

Create a custom theme:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><resources><stylename="CustomDialog"parent="android:style/Theme.Dialog"><itemname="android:windowBackground">@null</item></style></resources>

then use it:

builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(parent, R.style.CustomDialog);

Update

The constructor above is indeed API 11+. To work around this you need to extend AlertDialog (since its constructors are protected) and and then use constructor with theme parameter. To insert your custom view follow the instructions here - the FrameLayout trick described at the beginning.
