Translucent Dialog Box in Android

enter image description here

Hi, I wish to achieve this look for my alert dialog but is unsure of how should i do it. I do know how to get the transparent alert dialog look in android but I can't find any clue for it to be translucent. Please leave some opinion or guide on how should I start doing it. Thanks so much!

Update: Sorry I have forgotten to include that actually I am using xml with the alert dialog theme instead of the normal alert dialog.

you can creat custom dialog and refer it to style : 

 final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context,R.style.cust_dialog);

then create xml in values folder named dialog_style.xml :

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>   
   <style name="cust_dialog"> 
    <item name="android:windowFrame">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item> 
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@android:style/Animation.Dialog</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/transparent_color</item>
    <item name="android:windowSoftInputMode">stateUnspecified|adjustPan</item>
    <item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">@null</item> 
    <item name="android:textSize">30dp</item>
   <item name="android:gravity">left</item>
  </style>
</resources>

also create color.xml:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <resources>   
     <color name="transparent_color">#00000000</color>
  </resources>

by this you will get Translucent Dialog Box ,

and you can control the Translucency as you need.

hope help you.

To see the underlying activity un-dimmed:

dialog.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND);

To have the Dialog's background translucent, you have to set a background color with alpha < 255 (see the Color API).
