You can just set a default android theme so, there is no need to set NoTitleBar in extra params, then try a once it will working.

dialog = new Dialog(this, android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar);

is there any issue related to the builder?I mean mDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(c); any default colour for this? – Miller Apr 01 '15 at 11:14
No there is no issue, but if you want to color for this then you have to create a custom style and after apply it at here. – GovindRathod Apr 01 '15 at 12:57
private Builder mDialog; mDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(c, android.R.style.Theme_Translucent_NoTitleBar); I give the above code as like this ...it wont works .....anything wrong with it.....Still i am getting that white background...not transparent – Miller Apr 01 '15 at 13:02

    <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowTitleStyle">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@android:style/Animation.Dialog</item>
    <item name="android:windowSoftInputMode">stateUnspecified|adjustPan</item>
    <item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">false</item>

Try this solution. [Solution](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25174165/transparent-alertdialog-has-black-background). – Vijay Apr 01 '15 at 05:43
You should not use `AlertDialog.Builder` for transparent background. – Vijay Apr 01 '15 at 06:09
Then, you should create custom Dialog for your case. – Vijay Apr 01 '15 at 06:24
