alertDialog background transparent

Question

When I call an progressDialog the whole window (background behind the progressDialog) is getting dark/grey.

I tried:

alertDialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));

But this changes the background of the progressDialog it self. Is it possible to disable the dark/grey background behind the progressDialog?

@Adnan this changes the background of the alertDialog it self — Mike, Mar 20 '16 at 18:08
This is standard system behavior, why would you want to change it? — Egor, Mar 20 '16 at 22:47
because I am refreshing a live-image and the black/grey background disturbs the viewing of the image. showing the progressDialog without the full-window-background would be great. — Mike, Mar 20 '16 at 22:50

Dialog with transparent overlay style.xml:

 <style name="TransparentDialog" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light">
        <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
</style>

Set this style in Dialog constructor: R.style.TransparentDialog

thank you! I updated my question. I changed alertDialog to progressDialog. When I use your answer, also the background of the progressDialog box gets transparent. – Mike Mar 20 '16 at 22:46

I got it working with this solution:

alertDialog.getWindow().setDimAmount(0);
