Darken Background after Popup window opened android

Question

I want to dark the background after popup window open and restore everything like before after dismissing. I have searched google and seen some tutorial also. But I don't be able to understand how it is possible. Here's My Java Code:

public void displayPopupWindow() {
    View layout = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.popup,null);
    final PopupWindow popup = new PopupWindow(this);
    popup.setContentView(layout);
    popup.setOutsideTouchable(true);
    popup.setFocusable(true);
    popup.setWidth(400);
    popup.setHeight(580);
    popup.showAtLocation(layout, Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
    popup.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));
    Button button = (Button) layout.findViewById(R.id.button);
    button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View layout) {
            popup.dismiss();
        }
    });

}

Here my popup xml code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
android:id="@+id/popup"
>
Various views and button
</RelativeLayout>

What should I do now?

you can try this out

replace

popup.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));

with this in your code

popup.setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.BLACK));

you can change any background as per choice.

is the black color defined like this in your color.java file please check – Apoorv Mehrotra Dec 22 '16 at 08:57
@ColorInt public static final int BLACK = 0xFF000000; – Apoorv Mehrotra Dec 22 '16 at 08:58
if not then you can do this it will work i have tested. – Apoorv Mehrotra Dec 22 '16 at 08:58
also there is one more alternative opening the layout using alert dialog box i have the code as well – Apoorv Mehrotra Dec 22 '16 at 09:02
Use android:background="@null" – Apoorv Mehrotra Dec 22 '16 at 09:16
ok i have a code in which i have opened pop up using alert dialog box with a custom layout.In that i have tried to make background black and was successful. so if you want to open pop up using alert dialog box then i can share that code. but in that case your current code will be of no use as you are using "PopupWindow" class. – Apoorv Mehrotra Dec 22 '16 at 13:24
But your layout that you have created will get used in that. – Apoorv Mehrotra Dec 22 '16 at 13:26
please share brother! Thanks in Advance @Apoorv – Bill Redoy Dec 22 '16 at 15:30
