Seems like windowAnimationStyle is being ignored, how to animate custom dialog?

I wish to animate my custom dialog as appearing from a specific point but I am having trouble setting animation to the dialog.

The dialog is a basic RelativeLayout set as layout within a class that extends Dialog.

As some answers here suggested I have tried setting windowAnimations to it like

final myCustomDialog dialog = new myCustomDialog(this); 
dialog.getWindow().getAttributes().windowAnimations = R.style.CustomDialogTheme;

EDIT: setting theme in constructor seems to be working but the animations still don't work

final myCustomDialog dialog = new myCustomDialog(this, R.style.CustomDialogTheme);

CustomDialogTheme style being

<style name="CustomDialogTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
<item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/PauseDialogAnimation</item>
</style>

<style name="PauseDialogAnimation">
    <item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@android:anim/fade_in</item>
    <item name="android:windowExitAnimation">@android:anim/fade_out</item>
</style>

It just doesn't work, has no effect. I tried setting the same in android:windowAnimationStyle to the project theme and that worked for the activity.

What am I doing wrong and how do I animate a custom dialog if this doesn't work anymore.

Testing on Android 4.4.4 Paranoid Android with all animations set to 1x and Genymotion simulator for Nexus 5.

Try initializing your dialog passing the style on the constructor like this:

final myCustomDialog dialog = new myCustomDialog(this, R.style.CustomDialogTheme);
