Display an ActionBarCompat Activity as a dialog

Question

I have an Activity inherited from AppCompactActivity. in manifest for activity set theme:

<activity
            android:name=".activity.CameraSettingsActivity2"
            android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog" />

but the activity still displays in a fullscreen instead of dialog window. I have been trying different themes such as ..

Theme.AppCompat.Dialog
Theme.AppCompat.Dialog.Alert
Theme.AppCompat.Dialog.MinWidth

none of them seems work.the activity still like this

enter image description here

Try other style http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1979369/android-activity-as-a-dialog — Gelldur, Apr 15 '16 at 06:44
