Alternative to the deprecated FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND flag for dimming background of Dialog

Question

I'm trying to dim/blur the backgruond BEHIND a Dialog box. In the past, I've used this code:

dialog.getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND);

But as this question states, the WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND flag is now deprecated as of API 14. Is there a way I can dim the background of a Dialog box NOT using this flag? Thanks

Try

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND)

Another alternative:

getWindow().setBackground(new ColorDrawable(0x7000000))

blur and dim are not the same thing – Tiferet Cohen Feb 16 '21 at 08:32
It does not make the background blur but just dim (which is definetely not the same). – VanessaF May 24 '21 at 08:37
